Technical Reports Series No. 442
English STI/DOC/010/442 | 92-0-104705-3
232 pages | 27 figures | € 45.00 | Date published: 2006The IAEA has issued this publication to address the complex issue of remediation of sites with mixed contamination. This type of contamination poses a particular challenge because of the combination of types of hazards and potential exposures. While radionuclides and toxic (heavy) metals pose similar and mostly compatible challenges, organic contaminants often require different approaches that may not be compatible with the former. Additional complexity is introduced into the problem by a different and sometimes conflicting regulatory framework for radiological and non-radiological contamination, including the prescribed waste management routes.
