Description

The closure plan for the Caldas uranium mining and milling site (Brazil) is in its first stages and will involve the licensing and supervision of a big scale environmental remediation project (ERP). During this process, the team from LAPOC/CNEN involved with the licensing of the site has identified the need for professionals from various specialties to conduct the necessary assessments. In this context, this work aims to map the critical knowledge necessary for the challenge presented above and also to identify if the regulator counts with experts who possess such knowledge. Next, to share the knowledge and information needed to carry out assessments, the creation of a Community of Practice (CoP) is suggested.
