DOWNLOAD EBOOKExperience in IAEA member states has often shown that sites with radiation legacies cannot be remediated to residual levels of radioactivity below concern, and so cannot be released for unrestricted use. Residual contamination, buried wastes and other hazards may remain after cleanup is complete, for several reasons including technical limitations, economic feasibility, worker health and safety issues. This publication deals with the key conceptual, managerial and technical issues involved in the maintenance of institutional control over sites for prolonged periods of time, possibly for hundreds or even thousands of years. The management of sites with such long-term radiological liabilities is often referred to as 'stewardship'.
