A number of reports have indicated that a sizable percentage of the nation's experts in radiochemistry is nearing retirement age. This reality has been a concern since the 1970s, when declining numbers of radiochemists worldwide was first observed. To bolster interest and increase awareness in radiochemistry, NAMP is offering webinars developed by experts on different topics relevant to radiochemistry. The first series of radiochemistry webinars focusing on actinides was launched in April 2012 under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the Department of Homeland Security.  Several organizations and universities participate in their development from initial concept to full realization. Each webinar is unique and provides a basic understanding of fundamental chemical and physical properties of different actinides.  This paper assesses the current webinar series, describes webinars currently in development, and explains how to participate in the live webcasts and how to access archived webinars from the NAMP website.
