{"product_id":"9781782422389","title":"Environmental Remediation and Restoration of Contaminated Nuclear and Norm Sites","description":"Nuclear sites become contaminated with radionuclides due to accidents and activities carried out without due consideration for the environment. Naturally-occurring radioactive materials (NORM) released by industrial processes such as coal power production and fertilizer manufacture may also require clean-up. Environmental remediation and restoration aim to reduce exposure to radiation from contaminated soil or groundwater. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this area. Part 1 provides an introduction to the different types of contaminated site and their characteristics. Part 2 addresses environmental restoration frameworks and processes. Part 3 then reviews different remediation techniques and methods of waste disposal.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores types and characteristics of contaminated nuclear and NORM sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an in depth guide to environmental restoration frameworks and processes including stakeholder involvement, risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis in the remediation and restoration of contaminated nuclear and NORM sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers coverage of remediation techniques and waste disposal from electrokinetic remediation to in situ and ex situ bioremediation of radionuclides contaminated soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140042473712,"sku":"9781782422389","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782422389_p0.jpg?v=1763720105","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782422389","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
