Policies & Practices

Please note the following policies and practices related to the Decommissioning Training Courses:

Enrollment

Applicants are encouraged to register electronically.  Early registration is highly recommended due to the limited class size. We highly recommend to attendees that they register no later than two weeks (10 working days) before the scheduled start date for the TC. All questions on the online registration form marked as mandatory must be answered. If you do not answer every question, your application may not be able to be processed in a timely manner. In the event the online submission does not work, the registration form is also available as a PDF document to download, print, fill out by hand and fax to us. ONLY for TC sessions at Argonne: All foreign visitors (non-US Citizens) requiring access to the Argonne site are required to obtain access authorization prior to arrival. This requires completion of the form ANL-593 and submittal of it for approvals which - depending on the visitors nationality - typically requires somewhere between 21 days - 30 days.

TIPS: Register Online Register EARLY, no later than 10 working days before the TC start date Answer all mandatory questions in the registration form
