Training Program Development/Change Requests

DOE-HDBK-1105-2002

Radiological Training for Tritium Facilities

Training Program Development/Change Requests

All requests for program changes and revisions should be sent to the DOE Technical Standards Program

using the form "Document Improvement Proposal" provided at the conclusion of the material, as provided on

the DOE Technical Standards website.

Audits (internal and external)

Internal verification of training effectiveness should be accomplished through senior instructor or supervisor

observation of practical applications and discussions of course material. All results should be documented

and maintained by the organization responsible for Radiological Control training.

The training program materials and processes is evaluated on a periodic basis by DOE-HQ. The evaluation

includes a comparison of program elements with applicable industry standards and requirements.

Evaluating Training Program Effectiveness

Verification of the effectiveness of Radiological Control Training for Supervisors should be accomplished

by surveying a limited subset of former students in the workplace. This evaluation should include

observation of practical applications and discussion of the course material. DOE/EH has issued guidelines

for evaluating the effectiveness of radiological training through the DOE Operations Offices and DOE

Field Offices. These guidelines are available as an attachment to the Program Management Guide of DOE-

HDBK-1122-99, Radiological Control Technician Training.

For additional guidance, refer to DOE STD 1070-94, A Guide for Evaluation of Nuclear Facility Training

Programs. The guidelines contained in these documents are relevant for the establishment and

implementation of post-training evaluation programs.

Course-Specific Information

Purpose

This section of the program management guide is to assist those individuals assigned responsibility for

implementing the Radiological Training for Tritium Facilities. Standardized implementation of this training

helps ensure consistent and appropriate training for all personnel.

Course Goal

Upon completion of this training, the student will have a basic understanding of the characteristics of tritium

and understand the precautions and safeguards needed for working in a tritium facility.

Target Audience

Individuals who have assigned duties in tritium facilities.
