Registration and Coffee
09:00 - 10:20
Module 1: NORM 101
  • Where does NORM show up? How is it regulated?
  • How big of a deal is it really - is it hot or not?
  • Ask the questions you are afraid to ask in front of your teams at work. We will take the mystery out in this session.
10:20 - 12:00
Module 2: What’s Your Vertical?
  • Cutting Edge in Uranium Mining (Traditional and ISR) - Learn and share the latest mining challenges and advances where radioactivity and waste streams are concerned.
  • NORM Challenges in Water Treatment - Where do we see NORM in water treatment processes? How much of a challenge is it for water treatment plants, whether in drinking water or industrial applications.
  • The Highs and Lows of NORM/TENORM in Oil & Gas - Where do we find high levels of NORM in oil and gas in upstream, midstream, and downstream environments? What are there safety and regulatory issues?
  • Rare Earth Primer - Come learn the basics about rare earth minerals. What does the global market look like and which rare earths are used in various applications? And are there unique waste streams or radioactive constituents to be concerned with?
12:00 - 13:40
Module 3: Characterization, Assessment, and Safety
  • Radiochem Analytical Methodologies and Expectations - What is unique about radiochemistry and analytical methods? Are preservatives needed when sampling? What should you expect for turnaround times? Are there differences between labs and methodologies?
  • Effective Sampling & Analysis Plans - Come learn about the essentials in a great sampling and analysis plan. What’s important and how do you achieve your objectives in its design and implementation?
  • The Best in Survey Equipment & Techniques - This segment will introduce you to different types of survey instruments and their uses, and give you some key principles in effective survey techniques. If you want to know if you are using the right instrument in the right way, this session is for you.
  • Health Physics Implications - Are workers safe? What’s the potential impact of NORM to the human body? We will remove some of the mystery surrounding radiation and help you understand how radiological impact is assessed.
13:40 - 15:30
Module 4: Waste Management
  • Complexities of Packaging & Transportation - Compliant packaging and transport can be a challenge. We will demystify some of the regulations and help you better understand when it’s important to get expert help.
  • Challenges and Successes in Mixed Waste Treatment - What are the complexities of dealing with hazardous wastes that are mixed with radioactive waste. Are there multiple treatment and disposal options? Can radioactivity be treated and it will simply go away?
  • Disposal Options & Opportunities - Finding the best disposal option for your NORM-impacted waste can be a challenge. What can a waste broker do for you and how can you find both value and compliance? This session will help you understand how to manage and dispose of special waste streams.
