Environmental remediation, in the context of legacy sites, is being carried out in IAEA Member States at different paces. There is already significant experience and expertise present from around the world as nuclear and associated facilities are closed and move through the decommissioning and environmental remediation phases. Methodological approaches and remediation technologies have been developed to deal with different remediation situations and subsequently adapted to site specific conditions. They have also been further fine-tuned as they have been rolled out either on relatively small or large scale projects. This publication is intended to capture part of this experience and make it available to IAEA Member States, so that they can benefit from the existing knowledge when planning and implementing their remediation programmes.
