It is now generally accepted that there is a need to explicity demonstrate that the environment is protected from authorised discharges of radioactive substances. In response a number of assessment tools (models) have been developed. As the need for environmental assessment increases there is a requirement to ensure that regulators, industry and their representatives are: conversant with assessment objectives; know how to use available tool; can interpret the results; understand the implications of how the tools are used.The <span style="color: #ff0000"><a href="http://www.nerc.ac.uk/">Natural Environment Research Council</a></span> <span style="color: #000000">has provide funding, under the</span> <span style="color: #000000"><em>Knowledge Exchange</em></span> <span style="color: #000000">programme, to develop training packages (including on-line training materials) on radiological environmental assessment aimed specifically aimed at regulators and industry and those who may conduct assessment on their behalf. The project is lead by the Centre for Ecology &amp; Hydrology</span> with collaborators from the England & Wales Environment Agency, Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) and Westlakes Scientific Consulting. \\ The training programme will be focussed towards the use of the [ERICA] Tool however, we will also consider other approaches.We are intending to run four two day courses although if there is sufficient demand we may be able to arrange more. The first course was held at CEH Lancaster in April 2010, <span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>further course dates will be available soon</strong></span>.
