Abstract :
Decommissioning work on the 184-inch Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory synchrocyclotron included relocation of Van de Graaff and biomedical programs, radiation measurements, planning, estimate preparation, tooling design and procurement, scheduling, shipping arrangements, rigging studies, obtaining of permits, waste disposal coordination, and cleanup. Descriptions of the disassembly, electrical and radiation safety, and waste are given. It is concluded that the decommissioning has been done safely, on budget, and on schedule
