Series Statement:
Radioactivity in the environment 14
Content:
Following nuclear weapon tests, radiation accidents, functioning of mining, milling and processing industries related to fissile and fossil materials productions environments across the globe are contaminated by radionuclides representing a potential radiation exposure to humans. The book will comprise a wide spectrum of issues such as site characterization of contaminated sites before and after remediation, safety requirements, remediation planning, effectiveness of individual measures in different environments, social, ethical and economic considerations etc. It will describe modern decision aiding technologies and environmental decision support systems that can be effectively used for remediation planning and optimizing. A review of potentially effective remediation measures will be given applicable to different categories of contaminated environments and contaminants. Associated side effects (environmental and social) will also be considered. Special emphasis will be given to decommissioning of enterprises and waste management. Several case studies, demonstrating successful applications in remediation of contaminated locations of different origins: radiation accidents and incidents, areas of uranium, sand and tin mining, nuclear test sites etc., will be presented and discussed. Human based remediation measures, comprising perception of this activity by the population; to stakeholders and population involvement to making decisions on environmental safety and remediation of contaminated sites will be considered
Content:
This booknbsp,summarises - amongst other things - what happened to the people and environment around Chernobyl (and other nuclear sites) and what measures need to be taken in future in the event of nuclear accidents etcnbsp,plus it has a very important and currently topical use in detailing what to do in the event of a terrorist dirty bomb attack on a city. * Remediation, including characterization of contaminated sites, safety requirements, remediation planning, effectiveness of individual measures in different environments, social, ethical and economic considerations, application of modern decision aiding technologies * Applicable to different categories of contaminated environments and contaminants, comprising areas contaminated by radiation accidents and incidents, nuclear weapon tests, natural radionuclides associated with nuclear fuel cycle, fossil material mining and gas and oil production * Associated side effects (environmental and social) and human based remediation measures, comprising perception of this activity by the population,nbsp,with particular regard to stakeholders and population involvementnbsp,in making decisions on environmental safety and remediation of contaminated sites
