ACAD Section 3.3 RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION THEORY AND TECHNIQUES3.3.2 SOURCES OF RADIATION
- Identify and quantify major sources of radiation in the plant that contribute to worker exposures
3.3.11 CONDUCT AND MONITORING OF RADIOLOGICAL WORK
- Discuss proper job coverage and radiological protection measures for high exposure jobs and potential high exposure jobs, such as:
- Identify generic locations that should be included in process radiation surveys, such as:
3.3.14 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL CONTROL
- Describe plant systems for storing and processing radioactive liquid waste, including:
–demineralizers
–evaporators
–solidification equipment
- Explain the radiological protection requirements associated with processing liquid wastes using techniques such as:
–solidification of evaporate bottoms
–transfer of demineralizer resin to shipping casks
–dewatering and solidification of resins
- Describe radiological protection requirements for operating a radioactive waste compactor.
- Identify and explain techniques for reducing the volume of radioactive solid waste generated, such as the following:
