ABSTRACT:
An assembly includes a structure. A shielding apparatus is disposed inside the structure and radioactive plant components having sides and a bottom are surrounded by the shielding apparatus. The radioactive plant components include relatively highly radioactive components and relatively weakly radioactive or non-radioactive components. A water-tight vessel embedded in the structure has an interior and an outside and exclusively surrounds the radioactive plant components at the sides and at the bottom with the relatively highly radioactive components disposed in the interior and the relatively weakly radioactive or non-radioactive components disposed at the outside. The water-tight vessel is sufficiently large to hold water serving as a shielding device and to hold crushed contaminate pieces of the radioactive plant components during subsequent dismantling of the plant components.
