| Short description: |
This nuclear industry guidance was developed on behalf of the Nuclear Industry Group for Land Quality, funded as part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's Direct Research Portfolio (http://www.nda.gov.uk/research).
Further information on the authorship of and background to this document are provided in its Foreword, which also seeks feedback from users, which will be used to inform a future revision.
The purpose of the guidance is to provide a methodology for qualitative risk assessment (QLRA) of land contamination. It covers both non-radioactive and radioactive contamination and considers the full range of receptors within applicable regulatory regimes (i.e. people, the environment and property) from land contamination in its current condition. The guidance is aimed mainly at land quality management practitioners in the nuclear industry but may also be applicable to potentially contaminated sites in other contexts.
