cover areas such as dose and contamination control, waste minimization,

mock-up training, protective clothing, work planning, conduct of ALARA [as

low as reasonably achievable] programs, Environmental ALARA, biological

control, decontamination and decommission, lessons learned and new

technologies. 



In addition to the presentations and workshops, an on-site tour and vendor
