BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT AND SITE RESTORATION: TECHNOLOGICAL, EDUCATIONAL, BUSINESS, POLITICAL ASPECTS

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on. Utilization of Biotechnologies in the Field of Radioactive and Toxic Wastes Management and Site Restoration. Biotechnology for Waste Management and Site Restoration covers: waste management - solid, gaseous, liquid; site restoration - radioactivity, organics, toxic metals; educational, economic, social and business aspects; and international collaboration. International collaboration is growing apace and many concrete projects have been started. The body of knowledge is growing. Over the long term, it is envisaged that this international collaboration will result in a long-term scientific and technological strategy, new technologies and alternative solutions, and practical implementations of biotechnology for the nuclear and industrial sectors of the economy.
