Review: These are the proceedings of the conference held in Berlin in 2002. Some countries have already put in regulatory infrastructures and others are at the stage of assessing what is involved; the purpose of the conference was to exchange information on the safe and orderly termination of practices that involve the use of radioactive substances. The conference explored seven main themes: the overall magnitude of the problem; regulatory approaches and safety strategies; the status and development of decommissioning technologies; planning and implementation; funding approaches and strategies; consideration of social issues; and criteria for the removal of regulatory controls.
