1Welcome – Thanks for joining us.ITRC’s Internet-based Training ProgramRadiation Site Cleanup:CERCLA Requirements and GuidanceAssociated ITRC Documents:XDetermining Cleanup Goals at Radioactively ContaminatedSites: Case Studies (RAD-2, April 2002)XIssues of Long-Term Stewardship: State Regulators’Perspectives (RAD-3, July 2004)This training is co-sponsored by the EPA Office ofSuperfund Remediation and Technology InnovationThe ITRC Radionuclides Team’s “Determining Cleanup Goals at Radioactively Contaminated Sites: CaseStudies” (RAD-2, April 2002) examines the factors influencing variations in cleanup level development atvarious radioactively contaminated sites and underscores the need for training to enhance consistency inremedy selection for radiological contaminants. Since most radioactively contaminated DOE and DODsites are developing cleanup goals under CERCLA authority, there is a need for training that elaborates onthe methodology used to select remedies under EPA’s approach for CERCLA sites. This training coursehas been collaboratively developed by the ITRC Radionuclides Team and EPA’s Superfund Office to meetthese needs. The focus of this training is EPA’s guidance for remediating radioactively contaminated sites,which can facilitate cleanups that are consistent with how chemical contaminants are addressed, exceptwhere technical differences posed by radiation are addressed. In addition to CERCLA cleanup and itsassociated guidance, this course introduces the participants to long term stewardship (LTS) challengesrelated to the large radioactively contaminated sites. This understanding of LTS issues are integral to thecleanup process and decisions made at the radiation sites. Course modules have the following specificpurposes:Module 1 - Regulatory Background and Case Studies: Provide an overview of the regulatory requirementsfor cleanup of radioactive wasteModule 2 & 3 - EPA CERCLA Radiation Requirements and Guidance: Explain EPA remedy selectionpolicy, in particular those guidance documents and tools that address radioactively contaminated sitesModule 4 - Beyond Cleanup: Long-Term Management of Radioactive Sites – This module focuses on thechallenges of long term stewardship of large radiation sites, identified by the ITRC Radionuclides Team intheir document “Issues of Long-Term Stewardship: State Regulators’ Perspective” (RAD-3, July 2004)ITRC (Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council) www.itrcweb.orgTraining Co-Sponsored by: EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (www.cluin.org)ITRC Course Moderator: Mary Yelken (myelken@earthlink.net)1

ITRC brings together a diverse mix of environmental experts andstakeholders from both the public and private sectors to broaden and deepen technicalknowledge and advance the regulatory acceptance of environmental technologies. Together,we’re building the environmental community’s ability to expedite quality decision makingwhile protecting human health and the environment. With our network approaching 7,500people from all aspects of the environmental community, ITRC is a unique catalyst fordialogue between regulators and the regulated community.For a state to be a member of ITRC their environmental agency must designate a StatePoint of Contact.
