An International Conference on Advancing the Global Implementation of Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation Programmes will take place from 23 to 27 May 2016 in Madrid. Organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency and held in co-sponsorship with the European Commission and in cooperation with the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the EBRD, the conference will share and review challenges, achievements and lessons learned related to the decommissioning and environmental remediation programmes that have been implemented during the past decade.
Key goals will include raising awareness of the importance of addressing the legacies from past activities, identifying current priority needs and providing recommendations on the strategies and approaches that can enable and enhance safe, secure and cost-effective implementation of national and international programmes during the next one to two decades.
