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 Radiological Survey Instruments and Laboratory Counting Equipment section of Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Chemistry Technicians (ACAD 08-006 4.5) "... describes the operating characteristics of radiological survey instruments and laboratory counting equipment" and the performance of specified tasks.
Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 4.5 include three documents and six PowerPoint presentations.
This material covers, more specifically: principles of operation and calibration; ; gas filled detectors (including ionization chambers, gas proportional detectors; and Geiger-Mueller Detectors); scintillation detectors (including gamma detectors and alpha detectors); liquid scintillation counters (LSCs); portable radiation survey instruments; and more.
For orientation purposes Radiation_Detection_Principles_and_Instruments_Instructor_Notes.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.
