Radiological Worker Training

Instructor's Guide

Contamination Control (Module 9)

This module is recommended for workers who require unescorted access to

Contamination, High Contamination, and/or Airborne Radioactivity Areas.

Practical Factors Evaluations (Module 10)

This module contains generic practical exercises that provide hands-on experience for

the worker. These exercises are for the levels of training needed by different

radiological workers.

Overview of Courses

The DOE training material can be divided into the following levels of radiological worker

training:

Radiological Worker I (RW I) Training

This course contains the core academics and the appropriate practical factors. This

training is for radiological workers whose job assignments require access to

Radiological Buffer Areas and Radiation Areas. RW I training is also suggested for

unescorted entry into Radioactive Material Areas containing either sealed radioactive

sources or radioactive material labeled in accordance with 10 CFR 835.

RW I training alone does not prepare the worker to work around higher radiation levels

or with contaminated materials. It is suggested that RW I tasks be limited to

inspections, tours, and activities that involve work on nonradiological systems.

Radiological Worker I Training with High/Very High Radiation Area Training

This course contains the core academics, the High/Very High Radiation Area

(HR/VHR) module, and the appropriate practical factors. The HR/VHR Area lesson

plan may be added to the RW I course to give personnel unescorted entry into High

Radiation Areas where contamination is not a concern.
