This panel focused on and is a follow-up from the WM2010 series on ENVIRONET - the IAEA Network on Environmental Management and Remediation. The network is actually promoting development of regulations, skills and training, technical outreach and funding needed to accomplish safer, more sustainable and efficient remediation. The network also transfered knowledge and lessons learned to encourage improved life cycle planning of future projects and prevent generation of new legacy sites with associates such as the International Forum on Sustainable Options for Uranium Protection. Progress in development of network projects were presented.
