Module 10.1: Instructions for Evaluators

Attachment 1

Examples of an automatic failure

The following are only examples of what may constitute an automatic failure. This

list is not an all inclusive list. It is recommended that each facility develop a facility-

specific list of automatic failure actions and provide the list to the students.

Entering the area without dosimeter(s).

Chewing gum inside the area.

Reaching/entering into an area without meeting site procedural requirements.

Failure to monitor upon exit.

IV.

CONDUCTING EVALUATION

Once the instructor has ensured a simulated radiologically controlled area is pre-staged correctly, it

is recommended that the practical factors evaluation be conducted in accordance with the

following criteria listed in this section.

Although the evaluation process is broken into steps (e.g., pre-brief, donning PCs (as

applicable), performing job, exiting, etc.), the instructor should evaluate the practical factors

exercise as a whole. This will permit the student to correct a mistake within a reasonable

time frame.

A. General Rules

Job scenarios and associated RWPs and survey maps must be developed that incorporate

all objectives.

The scenario used during the classroom practice lesson should not be used for the

evaluation (see Attachments 3 and 4 for sample job scenario and map).

b) The job scenario and simulated area should be such that the student has to make

decisions such as: the best path to the job location and how to best perform the

specific task. The student should DEMONSTRATE that they know where lower

radiation levels exist and how to proceed using this information. They should not be

allowed to verbally simulate the appropriate actions.

Student/instructor ratio should be one student per instructor.

Each student should have the undivided attention of the evaluator.
