Abstract: The decommissioning environmental remediation and management of uranium mine and mill facility is a complex system engineering. Taking a uranium mining and mill facility in Southwest China as an example, this paper reviews the process of decommissioning, the engineering measures in decommissioning, and the long-term management after decommissioning. The results of important radiation environment monitoring indicators over the years were tracked, and the effectiveness of various measures during decommissioning was reviewed and evaluated.

Key words: uranium mine and mill, decommissioning, evaluation, effectiveness
