The Site Characterization Online Training emphasizes site evaluation, data planning, survey implementation and tools, data interpretation, and decision-making processes involved in the historical site assessment, scoping survey, and characterization survey phases of decommissioning. Much of the course involves planning sessions and individual exercises. Topics include: site assessment, surveys for radiological and chemical contaminants, data quality objectives and assessments, safety evaluations, planning, and budgeting.
It is self-paced and can be completed as time allows. To complete the course, you will be required to pass an exam. A passing score is 70 out of 100. You will have three attempts to successfully complete the exam. A certificate of completion will be provided upon successful completion of the exam. Course materials are available on the ORAU PTP Learning Management System (LMS).
PTP instructors will be available via email, phone, or Microsoft Teams to answer questions and provide assistance when needed.
