08/06/12 | New Course - Characterization and Planning for Decommissioning (H-115) There is a new course scheduled for November 5-9, 2012 at the Professional Development Center in Bethesda, MD. This course emphasizes site evaluation, data planning, survey implementation and tools, data interpretation, and decision making processes involved in the historical site assessment, scoping survey, and characterization survey phase of decommissioning.
Anyone interested in attending this course will need to submit a training application to Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov or fax a copy to 301-415-3502. |
05/23/12 | The Visual Sampling Plan Course (H-500) originally scheduled for October 1-4, 2012 is rescheduled for August 7-10, 2012. This course will be held in Bethesda, Maryland at the Professional Development Center. Anyone interested in attending this course will need to submit a training application to Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov or fax it to 301-415-3502. For the students who are registered for the original course in October I will move you to the August course. If you are not able to attend please let Brenda Usilton know and she will remove you from the list. |
05/09/12 | The Safety Aspects of Industrial Radiography course which was scheduled for September 24-28, 2012 has been changed. The new dates for this course are October 15-19, 2012. The course will be held in St. Rose, Louisiana. Anyone who has already submitted their application for this course will be switched to the new dates. If you are on the list and know you are not able to attend please send Brenda Usilton an email at Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov so I can remove you from the course. |
03/05/12 | The H-120 - MARSAME course which will be offered December 10-13, 2012 will be held in Topeka, Kansas. The F-104 - Health Physics for Uranium Recovery course which will be offered July 9-13, 2012 will be held in Moab, Utah.
States interested in attending theses course will need to submit a training application to Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov. |
01/18/12 | New Course Offering - MILDOS-Area Workshop (H-413) A new course is being offered by the NRC on May 8-10, 2012 at the Professional Development Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The course is entitled MILDOS-Area Workshop. A description of the new course is below.
H-413, MILDOSE-AREA Workshop - The MILDOS-AREA computer code calculates the radiological dose commitments received by individuals and the general population within an 80-km radius of an operating uranium recovery facility. In addition, air and ground concentrations of radionuclides can be estimated for individual locations, as well as for a generalized population grid. This three day course will provide instruction on using the MILDOSE-AREA computer code to perform these calculations, and will focus on radiological dose assessments associated with point, area and in-situ leaching sources. Interactive computer demonstrations will guide the participants through data input and output steps. Instructor support would help the students complete the hands-on problem solving sessions throughout the workshop. Anyone interested in registering for the H-123 course will need to submit a training application to Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov or fax a copy to 301-415-3502. |
01/06/12 | Course Changes to H-122 and H-201(H-500) With the approval of the development of the Bridge (Gap) course, slight changes are being made to the content and name of the Basic Health Physics Technology (H-122) course. The new course names of the aforementioned courses will be Fundamental Health Physics I and II (H-122) and Fundamental Health Physics III (H-123). The name and content changes are being made to fit the new HP "series" that has been created. Similarly, changes to the end of the HP series, the Health Physics Technology (H-201) course, are being made along with its previous advertised new name, Advanced Health Physics (H-201).
Two offerings in 2012 for the new H-123 course are being offered. The dates are June 25-29, 2012 and December 10-14, 2012. Both these courses will be held in Oak Ridge, TN. Below are the descriptions of the new courses: Fundamental Health Physics I & II (H-122): This 10-day course will cover fundamental health physics theory and principles, with significant emphasis on hands-on laboratory exercises and practical demonstrations in radiation protection and measurement. Course topics will include: introduction to radioactivity, interactions of radiation with matter; counting statistics, radiation instruments and calibration; radiation quantities and units; radiation shielding; radiation safety regulations; radiation surveys; liquid scintillation counting, biological effects of radiation; radioactive waste; medical use of radiation and external dosimetry. Fundamental Health Physics III (H-123): This 5-day course builds on Fundamental Health Physics I & II (H-122) course by focusing on the analysis of gamma and neutron-emitting radionuclides, providing an accelerator overview, and discussing x-ray fluorescence. Course topics will include gamma spectroscopy (identification); germanium detectors; gamma spectrometry (quantification); x-ray fluorescence; neutron sources; neutron interactions; neutron detection; neutron activation; and, accelerators. Anyone interested in registering for the H-123 course will need to submit a training application to Brenda.Usilton@nrc.gov or fax a copy to 301-415-3502. |
