👉 What is environmental remediation? 🤔
🌱 Environmental remediation aims to protect people and the environment by reducing radiation exposure from soils, sediments, surface water, groundwater and biota that have been contaminated by radioactive material from legacy sites.
✅ After remediation, many sites can be safely reused, contributing to local development and environmental recovery.
