By 1992 the major chemicals-producing countries had similar environmental legislation, and international trade in hazardous waste was subject to regulation (e.g. the Basel Convention). While organisations such as the World Bank tried to ensure that internationally funded projects were based on sound environmental impact assessments, increased globalisation had increased the power of industry relative to the state, and the depressed state of many Third World economies encouraged individual countries to adopt short-term policies at the expense of the environment. 

Nuclear materials are specifically regulated under 10 CFR 1.42, administered by the U. S. NRC, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Security (NMSS). The duties and responsibilities of the NMSS include protecting the public health and safety, national defense and security by licensing, inspection, and environmental impact assessment for nuclear facilities and activities involving nuclear materials, and for the import and export of special nuclear materials. 

Environmental risks are normally controlled by rules and regulations rather than an analysis of risk. They are also assessed and controlled through the use of Environmental Impact Assessments, which are rather like Safety Cases (Chapter 2) in that they require the facility management to account for environmental values in their decisions and to justify those decisions in light of detailed environmental studies and public comments on the potential environmental impacts (Holder, 2004).

Life cycle assessment is defined by ISO 14040 as compilation and evalu ation of inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle. The ISO standards regulate the procedural aspects of LCA. They do not, however, provide all the information required for carrying out an LCA study. The main phases of LCA are goal and scope definition, inventory, impact assessment, and interpretation. The various applications of LCA are not regulated by the standard (Fig. 15.1). 

Besides the actions taken by the EU regulating bodies, an independent industrially supported thorough risk assessment has been planned and is still under execution on commercial halogenated fire retardants to assess their toxicity and environmental impact. 

In the absence of a health risk assessment and an environmental risk assessment, a precise statement on the impact of effluents on human health and the environment cannot be made at this time. However, data available to date indicate that the gas flow leaving the plant will meet all EPA regulations. Solid waste streams, including uncontaminated dunnage and metal decontaminated to a 5X level, will be agent-free. The bioreactor effluent evaporator will produce a concentrated brine that may be considered hazardous because of the derived from rule. It might even be considered hazardous by characteristic, although this is not likely. ...
