NRRPT EXAM REVIEW TRAINING
LENGTH: 5 days
CONTACT: (410) 421-5454 mdavidson@chesnuc.com
COURSE DESCRIPTION: A five-day, examination-based
course designed to prepare the qualified candidate to pass
the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists
(NRRPT) examination. This course combines Instructional Systems
Development (ISD) methodology with sample examinations to
introduce and review the "required knowledges" tested
by the NRRPT. Knowledge areas include Fundamentals, Detection
and Measurements, and Applied Radiation Protection. Course
content is based upon the Role Delineation constructed by
the NRRPT Panel of Examiners in 1987 and reissued by the NRRPT
Board of Directors in 1991. The U.S. Department of Energy
encourages NRRPT registration for Radiological Control Technicians
in 10 CFR 835 Implementation Guide G-10 CFR 835/J1, Radiation
Safety Training, and DOE/EH-0256T, Radiological Control Manual.
NRRPT registration is recognized by the NRC and INPO as a
radiation protection “good practice.” The
AAHP awards course attendees 32 Continuing Education Credits
(CECs) towards maintenance of the CHP credential (course #2007-00-060).
The NRRPT administers the examination in February and August
of each year, usually on the first Saturday of the month.
The examination consists of 150 multiple choice questions
and must be completed within four hours. For further information
on the NRRPT, including
eligibility and application, contact the NRRPT Executive Secretary
at (509) 736-5400.

COURSE MATERIALS: Each participant will
receive a Course Manual, Chart of the Nuclides (Nuclides and
Isotopes), sample examinations to measure individual performance,
and note cards. Participants should bring note-taking materials
and a scientific calculator to each session. It is strongly
recommended that the calculator used during the course be
the same as that used on the actual examination.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Any Radiation Protection
Technologist (RPT) - DOE Radiological Control Technicians,
commercial nuclear power plant health physics technicians,
Radiation Safety Officers, radiochemists, radiopharmacologists,
medical radiologists, industrial radiographers, and environmental
technologists. It is desirable, but not mandatory, that the
trainee has been accepted as a registration candidate by the
NRRPT.
