Nuclear Site Remediation and Restoration during Decommissioning of Nuclear Installations
A Report by the NEA Co-operative Programme on Decommissioning
Decommissioning of nuclear facilities and related remedial actions are currently being
undertaken around the world to enable sites or parts of sites to be reused for other
purposes. Remediation has generally been considered as the last step in a sequence
of decommissioning steps, but the values of prevention, long-term planning and parallel
remediation are increasingly being recognised as important steps in the process. This
report, prepared by the Task Group on Nuclear Site Restoration of the NEA Co-operative
Programme on Decommissioning, highlights lessons learnt from remediation experiences
of NEA member countries that may be particularly helpful to practitioners of nuclear
site remediation, regulators and site operators. It provides observations and recommendations
to consider in the development of strategies and plans for efcient nuclear site remediation
that ensures protection of workers and the environment.
