U.S. EPA, U.S. NRC, and U.S. DOE are hosting an International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) Symposium on the restoration of environments with radioactive
residues.  The Symposium will focus on exchanging information and
experiences from IAEA Member States on radioactive site restoration.  It
will be of particular interest to health physicists, environmental
engineers, radiation protection experts, regulatory agencies, senior policy
makers, and industry representatives.  The Symposium will address the
following topics: national and international policies and criteria for
radiological cleanups; radiological assessment of sites with radioactive
residues; strategies, remediation techniques and technologies, and safe
waste management for radiological cleanups; and decision making and
involvement of interested parties in policy implementation.  Papers that
fall within the Symposium topics may be submitted as contributions to the
Symposium.  Contributed papers will not be presented orally, but included in
a book to be distributed at the Symposium.  Abstracts should be in English
and should not exceed a half page in length.  Abstracts must be received by
IAEA by May 15, 1999 along with a Participation Form (Form A) and a Form for
