Three Levels of Radiological Worker Training with Associated Training Requirements

Radiological Worker II (RW II) Training

This course consists of the core academics, the High/Very High Radiation Area

module, the Contamination Control module, and the appropriate practical factors. This

training is recommended for the radiological worker whose job assignments involve

unescorted entry into High Radiation Areas, Contamination Areas, High Contamination

Areas, and Airborne Radioactivity Areas. Further, workers who have potential contact

with hot particles or use gloveboxes with high contamination levels should complete

RW II training.

RW II training prepares the worker to work around higher radiation levels and with

contaminated materials normally associated with radiological facilities/activities.

Evaluation Criteria

At the completion of the applicable course, the participant must successfully complete a

written exam and a practical evaluation to be considered to have successfully completed the

training. Successful completion of the written exam should be a prerequisite for the practical

factors evaluation.
