16 OCCUPATIONAL INTERNAL DOSIMETRY December 14 18, 2015 ($1,995) July 25 29, 2016 ($1,995) Personnel working with unencapsulated radioactive materials have the potential to receive internal doses via inhalation or ingestion. Recent experience involving the intake of alpha emitters at nuclear power plants has created a need for individuals who understand the current methods for determining radiation dose from such intakes. To meet this need, ORAU conducts a five-day training course Occupational Internal Dosimetry. The American Academy of Health Physics grants 40 Continuing Education Credits for completion of this course. This five-day course is designed to provide course participants with a thorough understanding of current methods for determining radiation doses resulting from intakes of radioactive materials by workers. The course covers the basic concepts and principles of internal dose assessments, and describes the ICRP internal dosimetry systems and models currently in use in the U.S. and internationally. Bioassay methods (both direct and indirect) are reviewed and bioassay interpretation is discussed in detail. Regulations and regulatory guidance is discussed, including the design of bioassay programs and methods for demonstrating regulatory compliance. Finally, quality assurance and methods for program evaluation are covered. Throughout the course, students work detailed example problems covering all aspects of internal dose assessment. This course is designed for individuals who currently have or anticipate having the responsibility to implement, manage or evaluate occupational internal dosimetry programs. Participants should be familiar with basic concepts and radiation quantities and units. instructional materials. Attendees will also receive a copy of the PTP Electronic Library DVD. 8:30 AM INTRODUCTION TO INTERNAL DOSIMETRY 11:15 AM DOSIMETRY SYSTEMS-ICRP 2 1:00 PM DOSIMETRY SYSTEMS-ICRP 26/30 2:00 PM DOSIMETRY SYSTEMS-ICRP 60 3:00 PM DOSIMETRY SYSTEMS-ICRP 103 3:30 PM Problem Session 8:00 AM INTAKE MODELS: INHALATION 9:30 AM INTAKE MODELS: INGESTION 11:00 AM INTAKE MODELS: CONTAMINATED WOUNDS 12:45 PM SYSTEMIC BIOKINETIC MODELS 2:00 PM DOSIMETRY MODELS 3:00 PM Problem Session 8:00 AM REGULATIONS AND GUIDANCE AIR SAMPLING IN THE WORKPLACE 10:15 AM BIOASSAY PROGRAMS 12:30 PM IN VITRO BIOASSAY METHODS 1:30 PM IN VIVO BIOASSAY METHODS 2:15 PM BIOASSAY DATA INTERPRETATION 3:30 PM Problem Session 8:00 AM NRC REGULATIONS AND GUIDANCE 9:00 AM INTERNAL DOSIMETRY AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS 10:15 AM INTERNAL DOSIMETRY AT URANIUM FACILITIES 12:30 PM INTERNAL DOSIMETRY AT RESEARCH & MEDICAL FACILITIES 1:30 PM FETAL DOSIMETRY 2:15 PM INTERNAL DOSIMETRY COMPUTER CODES 3:00 PM Problem Session 8:00 AM TREATMENT FOR INTERNAL CONTAMINATION 8:45 AM SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 10:00 AM Q&A 11:30 AM Course Critique and Adjourn 2016 PTP Catalog 15

17 RADIATION SAFETY OFFICER TRAINING June 20 24, 2016 ($1,995) Personnel responsible for radiation safety activities are faced with numerous administrative and technical issues. These issues are often complex and require individuals who are well trained in and responsive to existing and evolving regulations. To assist those individuals who desire a successful radiation safety program, ORAU conducts a five-day training course Radiation Safety Officer Training. The American Academy of Health Physics grants 40 Continuing Education Credits for completion of this course. The American Board of Industrial Hygiene grants 5.0 Certification Maintenance Points to CIHs for completion of this course. This five-day lecture/laboratory course introduces course participants to relevant issues that influence the effectiveness of a radiation safety program. The course emphasizes a variety of administrative and technical issues that a radiation safety officer has to address. An interactive format offers the opportunity for instructor/group discussions to facilitate the learning process. This course is designed for individuals who presently have or anticipate having the responsibility for radiation safety officer activities at their facility.

SITE CHARACTERIZATION IN SUPPORT OF DECOMMISSIONING: PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION January 25 29, 2016 ($1,995) If you are interested in having this course delivered at your site, please contact Tonya Bernhardt at (865) or Tim Vitkus at (865) Successful site remediation, final status surveys (FSS), and facility release are dependent upon the adequacy of the initial decommissioning planning. Because so much of the information that ultimately feeds into the planning and documentation that supports release guideline development, remediation, and final status surveys is generated during early site reconnaissance, it is imperative that the historical site assessment and characterization are integrated with the overarching plans for eventually releasing a site. The driving guidance for the FSS of radiologically contaminated sites is MARSSIM. Together with additional guidance documents that include the NRC s Consolidated Decommissioning Guidance (NUREG-1757), MARSAME, as well as guidance from our European counterparts, this course has been designed to bridge the gap between available training and emphasis on the performance of final status surveys to ensure that the initial historical site assessments and characterization surveys, from which the majority of the important decision-making data arise, are conducted in an integrated approach for decommissioning that will feed directly into FSS planning and site release. The American Academy of Health Physics grants 32 Continuing Education Credits for completion of this course. This five-day course emphasizes site evaluation, data planning, survey implementation and tools, data interpretation, and decision-making processes involved in the historical site assessment, scoping survey, and characterization survey phases of decommissioning. Much of the course involves planning sessions and individual and class exercises. Topics include: site assessment, surveys for radiological and chemical contaminants, data quality objectives and assessments, safety evaluations, planning, and budgeting. This course is designed for individuals who will be responsible for the oversight and planning of the surveys leading up to remediation and FSS, determining data needs and data evaluation and reporting. Although general concepts from MARSSIM are included in the course, experience or previous training using MARSSIM is not a prerequisite. 9:00 AM COURSE GOALS AND INTRODUCTIONS 9:15 AM PURPOSE OF CHARACTERIZATION SURVEYS 9:45 AM DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS 11:00 AM QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN (QAPP) 12:30 PM RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY TYPES IN SUPPORT OF DECOMMISSIONING 1:00 PM OVERVIEW OF ANSI N :30 PM MARSSIM OVERVIEW 8:00 AM MARSAME (SUPPLEMENT TO NUREG-1575) 9:30 AM CHARACTERIZATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF BUILDING AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES 10:00 AM CHARACTERIZATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF LAND AREAS 11:00 AM PATHWAY MODELING AND DCGLs 1:00 PM RESRAD 2:00 PM CHARACTERIZATION START POINT: THE HISTORICAL SITE ASSESSMENT PROCESS 2:45 PM Exercise: HSA and Development of CSM 4:00 PM SUMMARY: HSA AND CSM 8:00 AM SAMPLING DESIGNS 8:30 AM ANTICIPATED SOW/WAC 9:00 AM SCOPING SURVEY PLANNING 9:30 AM Exercise: Scoping Survey Planning 10:30 AM SUMMARY: SCOPING SURVEY PLANNING 12:30 PM Exercise: Scoping Survey Results Review and CSM Revisions 2:00 PM SUMMARY: SCOPING SURVEY RESULTS 3:00 PM LAND AREA CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES 8:00 AM Exercise: Land Area Characterization 11:00 AM STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES 1:00 PM Exercise: Structural Characterization 3:00 PM Class Discussion: Sample Characterization Results Analysis 8:00 AM Class Discussion: Sample Characterization Results Analysis 9:30 AM EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS APPROACHES 11:00 AM DATA MANAGEMENT 12:00 PM Course Critique and Adjourn instructional materials.
