Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

Our TC is useful to obtain the required continuing education credits for on-going education requirements that the various professional certifications and sanctioning bodies require - such as the PMP, CHP, PE and others.
Upon completion of your course, you will receive a certificate of completion. The American Academy of Health Physics has granted 16 credits for this course.  We will be happy to assist attendees in providing to them whatever documentation they need to request receiving CEUs for this training. Any questions should be addressed to the Course Director.

Vendor Displays/Poster Exhibit Area

During the training course, an area adjacent to the lecture room will be available for exhibits or the display of materials from decommissioning vendors.  A poster exhibit area will also be designated for stand-alone displays (poster boards are limited to 3' X 3') from organizations.  Vendors will be charged a $100 USD fee to cover overhead and set-up expenses.  All shipping costs are the responsibility of the individual vendor.  Space will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.  The vendor fee can be paid by credit card or check.  Only Visa and MasterCard will be accepted.  Checks should be made payable to Argonne National Laboratory and sent to:

Judy Benigno
Conference Services
Bldg. 201-1H-12
9700 South Cass Avenue
Argonne, IL  60439
United States of America

The vendor areas are available for the display of printed materials such as SOQs, fact sheets, business cards, specialized flyers on technical capabilities, information on both proven and evolving technologies, etc.  These same areas are also available for display pieces of equipment that could be brought in and handheld by the attendees.  Each vendor will be allowed one or two tables.

Samples of decommissioning and related technical publications will also be available in the display area. The area will include materials from various technical and topical publications and membership and subscription materials from professional societies.

If you are interested in either displaying or exhibiting materials, please register using the electronic registration form or you can also contact the TC Director.
