rials, conditions, or procedures. Consequently, the author recommends consulting
applicable standards, laws, regulations, and experts for safety-related information.
The scope of the book assumes that D&ER has been completed at least in preliminary
planning, and reuse/remediation need consideration at this stage (the earlier, the better).
In fact, early consideration of site redevelopment is a factor of decommissioning plan-
ning and may require its iteration. Therefore, the book is meant to draw attention of
those (governmental and local authorities, operators, waste managers, regulatory
