Cleanup and Complexity: Nuclear and Industrial Contamination at The Santa Susana Field Laboratory, California

Contribution of a Risks Management Method for Depollution Projects Based on MBSE Approach

“…Whether intended or not, interactions involve the various components of the project, its stakeholders, its resources, and also concern the project's environment itself, the site, the pollutants, etc. The failures or errors of any party involved may result in either immediate, benign, or at least controllable effects, or conversely, Harmful consequences that can spread across the entire depollution project and impact multiple components involved in the project process (Ulibarri et al 2020).The risks in a depollution project can be numerous and of different types. Among these risks, we can mention: Technical risks: These risks are mainly associated with failures of pollutant treatment equipment, malfunctions of environmental control and monitoring software, inefficiency in integrating the various components of the depollution system, and potential complications during the implementation of innovative contaminant elimination techniques (Gaderer, Herrmann, and Fendt 2016).…”

Conceptualizing and Capturing Outcomes of Environmental Cleanup at Contaminated Sites

“…Environmental managers could prioritize community healing and restorative justice as a cleanup goal, helping communities to recover from the traumas and injustices intertwined with contamination (Beckett and Keeling 2019;Tsosie 2015). Fostering new social and institutional relationships and building trust among social actors during cleanups is part of achieving such objectives (Kiessling et al 2021;Lange and McNeil 2004;Metcalf et al 2015;Ulibarri et al 2020). Postremediation management could form new collaborations for the ongoing care of damaged environments and bodies (Tironi and Rodríguez-Giralt 2017;Ureta 2016;Waterton et al 2015).…”
