![Screenshot Screenshot](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00026106_300x300.png)
Program Description:
This material was published by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) as part of a comprehensive crosswalk that links objectives of ACAD 08-006 with GP Strategies ABC Material, NUCP Surveyed Material, NANTeL resources, EPRI resources, web resources, and published material available to all RCNET partners. These accredited utility training programs are based off training and qualification guidelines (ACADs) published by the National Academy for Nuclear Training.
ACAD 08-006 is the Uniform Curriculum Guide for Nuclear Power Plant Technician, Maintenance, and Nonlicensed Operations Personnel Associate Degree Programs and includes five main curriculum areas: Core Curriculum, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Nonlicensed Operators, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Radiological Protection Technicians, Discipline-Specific for Chemistry Technicians, and Discipline Specific for Maintenance Personnel.
Contents:
This Internal Dosimetry section of Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Radiological Protection Technicians (ACAD 08-006 3.3.7) covers the principles of operation and methods of calculating internal dose.
Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 3.3.7 include two curriculum documents and ten PowerPoint presentations.
This material covers, more specifically: the annual limit on intake; derived air concentration; weighting factors; solubility class; how annual limit on intake, committed dose equivalent, committed effective dose equivalent, and the target organ relate to the appropriate derived air concentration; identifying the specific radionuclides of concern for assessment of internal exposures, including sources of nuclides, critical organ, and mode(s) of uptake and elimination (ICRP30 biokinetic models); the dose to internal organs from swallowing or breathing radioactivity; the cause of uncertainties in internal dose assessment calculations, and more.
For orientation purposes Airborne_Radioactivity_Surveys.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.
Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
