but with low activity.
The continuous mode pollutes a restricted area within
high concentration.
The appearance of each radionuclide should be
monitored at selected distance within the restricted
area around the burial area.
Some radionuclide moves very quickly but does not
require any remediation because it does not reflect a
real pollution case. Some radionuclide moves very
slowly enough to detect and to perform suitable
remediation techniques.
Decontaminations and remediation plans should be
demonstrated in this chapter for assessment by regu-
latory bodies.
