Workshop on Techniques and Technologies Used for the Characterization of Radioactively Contaminated Land

The IAEA will hold a Training Workshop on Techniques and Technologies Used for the Characterization of Radioactively Contaminated Land at the UKHSA Training Centre, Harwell Campus, United Kingdom from 8 to 12 April 2024.

Virtual attendance is not possible.

Contaminated sites and areas requiring environmental improvement exist across the world. Critical to ensuring their remediation and reuse is the ability to characterize the site before, during and after site works.

Characterization of contaminated land is a multi-disciplinary task which requires a range of expertise and technical backgrounds. Characterization requires systematic planning, the use of in situ technologies and physical sample collection with laboratory analyses, and also data assessment and visualization.

This an introductory training workshop and is intended for individuals involved the radiological characterization and remediation of radioactively contaminated land. The workshop is applicable to early career practitioners, scientists and technicians and trainees pursuing a career within the field of radioactive contaminated land management.

Due to constraints, a maximum of 25 participants will be selected to attend the training workshop.

The selection of the participants will be based on the information provided in the personal abstract.

The designation deadline is 29 January 2024.

Further information can be found in the Information Sheet.
