  6. Needs • The Netherlands: • Highly populated; • Highly industrialised; • About 30% is below see level; • High ground water velocity; • Contaminated sites needs to be remediated so that they can be reused for as much purposes as possible, preferable unrestricted reuse. • There is a constant need for new proven/validated remediation techniques.

  7. Offer: EURSSEM • European Radiation Survey and Site Execution Manual • EURSSEM (1st version) has been established within the 6th EC Framework project “Coordination Network on Decommissioning (CND)”. The CND project officially ended 31 June 2009. • The European Radiation Survey and Site Execution Manual (EURSSEM) has been developed to provide a consistent consensus approach and guidance to conduct all actions at radioactively contaminated and potentially radioactively contaminated sites and/or groundwater up to their release for restricted or unrestricted (re)use.

  8. Offer: EURSSEM • Approach: • Service point of view, document free of names/pointers to commercial organizations, governmental regulations, etc. • Leading strategies, leading practical option(s), etc.; all strategies, practical options ….. no judging. • Applicable for all stakeholders involved in processes to remediate or restore radioactively contaminated sites for restricted or unrestricted (re)use. • Combining (leading) literature: • IAEA; Member states – consensus- • MARSSIM (2002); Regulator/Agencies US • CIRIA Safegrounds Nuclear Industry and Defense sites - UK Learning Network: • ITRC; Interstate Techn. & Research Council - US • EPA Environmental Protection Agency – US • Diverse Publications
