New Strategic Master Plan to coordinate remediation of uranium legacy sites in Central Asia (Spanish Edition)

A Strategic Master Plan published in May 2018 is set to help accelerate remediation efforts at former uranium mines in Central Asia. With the necessary funding, the highest-priority sites can be remediated in just a few years. The new plan, developed under the leadership of the IAEA in cooperation with experts from the region and international organizations, creates a framework for carrying out remediation activities in a timely, coordinated, cost-effective and sustainable manner. Building on European-Union-funded environmental impact assessments and feasibility studies and studies completed by the Russian State energy agency, Rosatom, the plan identifies hotspots and remediation priorities in the region. It also provides risk assessments and cost estimates.
