Abstract
A method and apparatus for cleaning and disposing of radioactive or contaminated media, as well as assessing a cost and profit structure for performing such cleaning and disposal. The embodiment may calculate profit and loss for a filtering plant, taking into account various factors such as the disposal site chosen, cost to erect the plant, debt taken on to finance the plant, length of the contract to filter the contaminants, and so forth.
Claims20
A method for calculating a cost associated with disposal of a substance, comprising:
- accepting a plurality of data inputs related to a disposal plan for a radioactive substance;
- calculating the cost associated with the disposal plan of the substance;
- and
- generating a financial schedule.
An apparatus for calculating a cost associated with disposal of a substance, comprising:
- an input module configured to accept a plurality of data inputs related to disposal of a radioactive substance;
- a first computation module configured to generate a plant specification for a plant to dispose of the substance;
- and a second computation module configured to calculate a cost associated with the disposal of the substance.
A method for performing a financial analysis of a plant utilizing a treatment medium to filter a radioactive substance from at least one well, comprising:
- accepting a plurality of data inputs related to the plant;
- calculating a disposal cost of the treatment medium;
- generating an income statement for the plant wherein the income statement is dependent, at least in part, upon the disposal cost of the treatment medium.
