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 Contamination Control section of section of Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Radiological Protection Technicians (ACAD 08-006 3.3.9) focuses on explaining and applying concepts related to contamination control.
Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 3.3.9 include four documents and eight PowerPoint presentations. The four documents include the Contamination Control Lesson Plan, which "provides guidance for an entire lesson with references to the ACADs addressed, texts and resources and PowerPoint presentation, along with instructor slide notes and scenario problems for students to answer as assessment of learning."
This material covers, more specifically: contamination control; plant limits for radioactive contamination; posting requirements for contaminated areas; plant procedures for marking and packaging radioactivity contaminated materials; the difference between loose and fixed contamination; alpha contamination; potential sources of radioactive contamination; techniques for controlling the spread of contamination; monitoring personnel contamination; monitoring tools and equipment for radioactive contamination; contamination surveys; contamination detection devices; controlling hot particles; protective clothing; protecting against facial contamination; cross-contamination; controlling the spread of contamination, and more.
For orientation purposes the ContaminationControlLessonPlan.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.
