Course 020003
Course Summary: The Radiological Worker II Retraining course is designed for personnel needing unescorted access to radiological areas that require personal protective clothing and access to HRA. The course retrain frequency is 2 years.
The core and site specific academic portion includes the following radiological worker initial classroom lessons from Radiological Worker II Initial Training, course 020001.
Radiological Fundamentals
Biological Effects
Radiation Limits
As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Program
Personnel Monitoring Programs
Radiological Postings and Controls
Radiological Emergencies
Radioactive Contamination Control
Self-Survey
Verify instrument response
The following practical factor elements are included::
Donning Protective Clothing
Entering a simulated radiological buffer area, contamination area, and high radiation area
Responding to simulated abnormal situations
Responding to simulated alarms or faulty radiological control equipment
Removing protective clothing and equipment and exiting the simulated area
Frisking for personnel contamination
Verifying instrument response
While standardized academic training is designed for the classroom setting, alternatives settings may be used. Knowledge objectives provide the basis for skills/ tasks to be performed in practical factors training, using hands-on training to demonstrate mastery of the ALARA principles, contamination control techniques, and responses to abnormal conditions. Personnel and facilities are not placed at unnecessary risk.
Target Audience: General employee in all disciplines. Reading and understanding English is necessary. Students must meet physical requirements to use personal protective equipment.
Course Prerequisites: One of the following courses:
Radiological Worker II Initial Training, Course 020001
Radiological Worker II Accelerated Initial Training, Course 0200A1
Course Evaluation: An examination and practical evaluation are used to measure student mastery of the training objectives.
A student must attain a score of 80 percent or higher on the written examination and a satisfactory score for the practical evaluation. Students must demonstrate proficiency on all practical factors.
