Appendix A

Qualification Criteria for DOE Contractor Key Radiation Protection Positions

Introduction

The criteria in this appendix have been divided into General and Specific Qualification Criteria for

DOE radiological facility key radiation protection positions. Due to similarities in the basic training

and qualifications for the contractor key radiation protection positions, six generic positions have

been identified and are discussed throughout this appendix. Table A-1 provides a listing of the

six generic key radiation protection positions, cross-referencing them with specific key radiation

protection positions. The General Criteria provide explanatory material for the Specific Criteria

identified for each of the six generic positions. In the text, the Specific Qualification Criteria for

key radiation protection positions follow the General Qualification Criteria.

It should be noted that this criteria is equivalent to or exceeds the requirements of DOE Order

5480.20A, Personnel Selection, Qualification, and Training Requirements for DOE Nuclear

Facilities and ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993, Selection, Qualification, and Training of Personnel for Nuclear

Power Plants. DOE 5480.20A provides a graded approach to qualification criteria that considers

the hazard inherent to the facility and the level of responsibility associated with the key radiation

protection position. This document used the highest standards from DOE 5480.20A and

ANSI/ANS-3.1 to provide guidance in the development of qualification criteria. This standard

supplements the requirements contained in DOE O 360.1, Training, and the DOE Technical

Qualifications program.
