Description
Environmental remediation is fundamentally different from radioactive waste management and decommissioning of nuclear installations in that the radioactive material of concern is mixed and/or incorporated into the natural environmental media. However, the remediation policy and strategies need to be coherent and consistent with those of decommissioning and waste management.
In general, environmental remediation is applied to the near surface terrestrial environment (rather than, for example, to airborne radioactive substances). Developing a national policy and an underlying strategy or strategies to implement environmental remediation is therefore imperative if the problem holders and decision makers are to succeed in applying the most appropriate and sustainable solutions to their environmental problems.
It is important that the Government policy on the land contamination should be built around the twin ideas of stopping contamination of land while taking a risk based approach to tackling historical contamination.
