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. |

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. |

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. |
