Agenda de l'environnement

description de l'évènement: Past and current human activities such as mineral exploration and mining, the production of electrical energy, and accidental or intentional utilization of nuclear material in peaceful or military human driven activities, can result in a legacy of contaminated land or aquatic ecosystems.

The legal definition of whether an eco-system is ‘contaminated’ varies from country to country, but at least such a definition relies on the estimation of the concentration of the contaminant present (being, for example, a metal, metalloid or a specific radionuclide).

This Technical Meeting on In-situ Methods for Characterization of Contaminated Sites will review the current status, developments, and trends in (i) nuclear in-situ techniques for contaminated site characterization, and (ii) both nuclear and non-nuclear in-situ techniques used at nuclear-related sites, including nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
