Introduction to in-situ techniques for radiological characterization of sites

The use of in-situ techniques in environmental monitoring has increased during the last years. However, there is an uneven level of experience and access to such techniques in the IAEA Members States. The IAEA has a vision that its Member States will eventually have in place a proper infrastructure and technologies for radiological characterization of the sites in a timely, safe and cost-effective manner. Aligned with this vision the INSITU Working Group was created within the IAEA Network of Environmental Management and Remediation (ENVIRONET), to produce a variety of products and services aimed at facilitating and increasing the exchange of information and experiences in the specific field of in-situ methods for characterization of sites. The ultimate goal of this group is to build capacity in the different IAEA Member States and to facilitate the full implementation of remediation projects.?This course is addressed to different stakeholders involved in environmental impact assessment and remediation: Public or stakeholder groups, educational institutions, junior professionals and graduate level, environmental monitoring laboratory specialists, managers, regulators, environmental remediation companies professionals, and emergency responders.For additional information please contact: nsil@iaea.org?
