Remediation 2
Remediation 2 : Any measures that may be carried out to reduce the radiation exposure from existing contamination of land areas through actions applied to the contamination itself (the source) or to the exposure pathways to humans. Complete removal of the contamination is not implied. The more informal term cleanup is also used. If used, it should be used with the same meaning as remediation, not to attempt to convey a different meaning. The terms rehabilitation and restoration may be taken to imply that the conditions that prevailed before the contamination can be achieved again, which is not normally the case (e.g. owing to the effects of the remedial action itself). Their use is discouraged. See: Decontamination
