Abstract
Much remains to be done in terms of addressing the decommissioning of facilities and remediation of sites affected by past uranium mining and processing operations. The Constraints to Implementing Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation (CIDER) project was launched by the IAEA to contribute to improving the current levels of performance on Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation (D&ER) programmes through promoting greater cooperation amongst IAEA Member States and relevant international organizations. This paper analyses the major constraining factors that affect the implementation of D&ER programmes and how these impediments might be overcome.
