"Nuclear sites become contaminated with radionuclides due to accidents and activities
carried out without due consideration for the environment. Naturally occurring radioactive
materials (NORM) released by industrial processes such as coal power production and
fertilizer manufacture may also require clean-up. Environmental remediation and restoration
aim to reduce exposure to radiation form contaminated soil or groundwater. Environmental
Remediation and restoration of Contaminated Nuclear and NORM Sites provides a comprehensive
overview of this area. Part One provides an introduction to the different types of
contaminated sites and their characteristics. The opening section explores radioactive
contamination and the impacts of waste from nuclear and conventional power plants,
as well as radionuclide behavior in the natural environment. Part Two addresses environmental
restoration frameworks and processes. Chapters include stakeholder involvement, international
guidance and risk assessment in, and for, the restoration of contaminated nuclear
and NORM sites. The final section presents expert analysis of remediation techniques
and waste disposal"--Back cover
