Pre-Conference WorkshopTuesday, 21 October 2025

This one-day workshop is designed to reinforce practical application for the RSO regarding licensing and facility and material management. The comprehensive agenda will cover various common topics. The RSO is required to ensure compliance with regulations and industry benchmarking. Curated for every stakeholder who has previously attended RSO training, intends to attend, RSO training, or hires RSO candidates or contractors. The attendee will learn everything from field practices to disposal.

• How do agencies consider Routine (On-site) Maintenance and Decontamination in field application?
• How can separation, dilution, and processing exist independent from decontamination? How are states licensing activities?
• Ask the questions you are afraid to ask in front of your teams at work. We are all friends here!

• Filing A New Application vs. Amendment – Business entities may have a choice in filing a new application vs. an amendment on an existing license. What are the pros and cons? Who makes the best RSO?
• Temporary Job Site Decon vs. Fixed Facility – Each authorization has their pros and cons of each. How do the states license the authorizations?

• Surveys, Air monitoring, and Waste Analysis – We have collected all of this data, now what? Let’s evaluate situations and scenarios of how to use our data in a practical way.
• Dosimetry – Workers come and go. Is it wise to use the exemption to dosimetry if less than 10% allowable dose? Which badges are best?

• Waste Profiling and RCRA E&P Exemptions - What are the complexities of dealing with hazardous wastes that are mixed with radioactive waste? When do RCRA E&P Exemptions apply or not?
• Disposal Options & Opportunities - Finding the best disposal option for your NORM-impacted waste can be a challenge. What are the steps of evaluating options?

• Complexities of Class 7 Regulations – Class 7 regulations can be daunting, especially if you are not using them daily. Let us discuss how to mitigate through them and construct a game plan.
• State-specific Regulations – Interstate transportation has its own challenges. Which LLRW compacts include NORM/TENORM with LLRW? When is a transportation license required?

• Inspections – Compliance is key with radioactive material licenses, and in order to gauge compliance, inspections are necessary. What inspections do state agencies conduct? How should self-inspections flow?
• NOV and Corrective Actions – Notice of Violations are not the end of the world. Know the severity of the violation, how the state agency expects it to be handled, and understand the enforcement process.
