This guide describes the DOE Radiological Worker I and II (RW I and II) training programs. It includes standards and policies as well as recommendations for material development and program administration. It is intended for use by the DOE and DOE contractors for the development of facility/site-specific radiological worker training.
The DOE core training materials for RW Training reflect the requirements identified in 10 CFR 835-Subpart J, “Radiation Safety Training” and recommendations identified in chapter 14, Radiation Safety Training, of DOE Implementation Guide G441.1-1B,Radiation Protection Programs for Use with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 835, Occupational Radiation Protection Radiation Safety Training, and in the DOE standard, Radiological Control. When implemented in its entirety and supplemented as noted with appropriate facility/site-specific information, this Handbook will generally meet the requirements of 10 CFR 835-Subpart J for radiological worker training. However, it is incumbent on management of each facility/site to review the content of this course against the radiological hazards present to ensure that the training content is appropriate to each individual’s prior training, anticipated and actual assignments, and degree of exposure to potential radiological hazards. Training described in this Handbook does not eliminate the need for additional training for facility/site-specific hazards. Notations throughout the program documents indicate the need for facility/site-specific information. If the noted section is not applicable to the facility/site, no information is required to be presented. The site Radiological Control Manager or designee should concur in facility/site-generated radiological training material.
The goal of the core training program is to provide a high level of knowledge and skills in radiological fundamentals for the radiological worker at all DOE facilities. …..Click here to read more
