摘要

Modern geostatistical capabilities should be integrated into the characterisation and final status survey methodologies used to demonstrate compliance with the licence termination criterion. Updated, scalable and modular fate and transport software needs to be developed and integrated with geostatistical capabilities to ensure that relatively simple and complex site end states and contaminant distributions can be modelled. There is also a need to take advantage of advances in telemetry and satellite-based Internet connectivity to integrate mapping and sample and survey data acquisition with the fate and transport models and routine monitoring tasks.
