This panel session, part 2 of 2, addressed abnormal situations at legacy sites remaining from military and civilian nuclear technology developments in the 20th century, as they raise many questions about safety and security, as well as environmental and human health protection. These complex legacy situations presented significant challenges to comprehensive, balanced, effective and efficient regulatory supervision and therefore have become the subject of bi-lateral agreements.

Panelists included: Nataliya K. Shandala, Deputy Director General, Federal Medical Biological Center (Russia); Stuart Walker, Superfund Remediation Program Radiation Lead, US EPA; and Malgorzata Sneve, Director, Regulatory Cooperation Programme, Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (Norway).
