Bibliographic record
Abstract
Results of the NATO/CCMS Initiatives (2003– 2007) The pilot study on Prevention and Remediation in Selected Industrial Sectors was launched as a nationally-funded activity by the NATO Committee of the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS) in November 2002 under the leadership of the U.S.A. The purpose of the study was to define and explore best practices for reducing the health and environmental impact on soil and groundwater of industrial sectors of interest as well as other unique site “ types” . A consensus process was used to select the sector for each meeting of the pilot study. The list of sectors covered with the location of the annual meetings was: • Non-ferrous mining – Baia Mare, Romania – Sep., 2003 • Rehabilitation of old (municipal) landfills – Cardiff, Wales – May, 2004 • Megasites (former large-scale industrial facilities) – Ottawa, Canada – June, 2005 • Small sites in urban areas – Athens, Greece – June, 2006 • Sediment sites – Ljubljana, Slovenia – June, 2007 After five years of work, the pilot study group – including 27 NATO member, partner and contact countries – came to a number of technical conclusions concerning risk management and risk assessment integration, best available cleanup technologies, large-scale projects, economic issues and management of contamination in urban areas. Annual reports in the “ CCMS Blue Book Series” , CDs and related power point presentations on the NATO web site at www.nato.int/science were produced each year. The proposed NATO/SPS Program on Contaminated Land Purpose of the proposed new program, under the leadership of Italy and Croatia, is the involvement of member, partner and Mediterranean dialogue countries in discussing and exploring integrated approaches to the management of contaminated land and protection of drinking water resources. A preliminary Advanced Research Workshop, with subject ‘ Drinking Water Protection by Integrated Management of Contaminated Land’ , is being considered for proposal of funding under the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program. Several countries (member, partner and Mediterranean dialogue countries) have already shown their interest in participating in the workshop. Typical topics to be explored in the workshop agenda are industrial operations, land contamination problem definition and risk assessment, measurement and monitoring strategies, management of drinking water supplies, remediation approaches for both soil and groundwater, transboundary water management problems, climate change issues, needs for further research. Considered meeting agenda will last three working days and include technical sessions, country sessions, round table discussions and a site visit.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
