Student's Guide

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY - COURSE PLAN

Course Material

Course Goal:

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

the characteristics of accelerators and the precautions and safeguards needed for

radiological safety while working in an accelerator facility.

Target Audience :

Individuals who have been assigned radiological duties (e.g., duties typically

requiring radiological worker training or equivalent) in accelerator facilities.

Description :

This course illustrates and reinforces the skills and knowledge needed to provide

personnel with an understanding of the characteristics of accelerators and the

radiological safety precautions needed for working at an accelerator facility.

Note: This lesson is not intended to be a requirement of all accelerator facilities

but rather a resource to be used at the discretion of the facility training

organization. Accelerator facilities may use any portion of this guide.

Note: Facility-specific information that requires each facility to input information

is denoted as "Facility-Specific."

Prerequisites :

Training that is considered commensurate with facility-specific hazards.

Training which is considered commensurate with site-specific hazards.

Radiological Worker I or II or the equivalent is recommended prior to receiving

this accelerator facilities safety training. Completion of Module 1 of Volume 1 of

DOE-HDBK-1091-93, DOE Fundamentals Handbook, Nuclear Physics and

Reactor Theory, is also recommended.

Length :

2-4 hours (depending on facility-specific information).
