Newfoundland and Labrador Nuclear & Ethics/Regulatory 30 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides a fundamental understanding of atomic and nuclear physics. It introduces the basic concepts of atomic physics including the atomic nature of matter, the chart of the nuclides, radioactivity and radioactive decay, neutron interactions and fission, and the interaction of radiation with matter.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to industrial and nuclear engineers, construction and design personel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of atomic and nuclear physics.

This online engineering PDH course addresses commonly used nuclear plant materials and the characteristics desired when selecting material for such use. It also discusses some of the considerations used in the selection process including material properties, fuel, fuel cladding, reflector material, control materials, and shielding materials.

 

During the selection and application of materials used for construction of a nuclear facility, many different material properties and factors must be considered depending upon the requirements for each specific application. Generally, these consist of both non-fuel reactor materials, used for structural and component construction, and fuel materials.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and plant engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of plant material selection and use.

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of instrumentation and control necessary for safe operation and maintenance of energy facilities and their support systems. In particular, this course describes the principles of radiation detection, detector operation, circuit operation, and specific radiation detector applications.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to industrial and nuclear engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of radiation detectors.

This online engineering PDH course presents the regulations, policies and procedures for the safe use and handling of radioactive materials and radiation generating devices. It describes the effects of radiation and how to minimize the dangers present in a radiation filled environment.

 

Nuclear chemicals are present in many modern facilities. It is often harnessed as a cleaner source of energy than fossil fuels. However, the energy stored in these volatile chemicals may lead to many dangers. Consequently, it is very important to strictly regulate how to handle these chemicals in order to protect employees working in hazardous environments.

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to nuclear, chemical, and safety engineers and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding about the requirements of protecting workers from radioactive materials.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for implementing specific controls over radioactive materials in accordance with the department of energy regulations DOE-STD-1098-2017.

 

The information presented in this course focuses on radioactive material identification, storage, control, release, transportation, and waste management. These measures should be implemented by affected line managers, workers, and support staff to ensure proper fulfillment of their radiological control responsibilities.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding on the handling of radioactive materials.

This online engineering PDH course, organized into three parts, presents information about the U.S. Department of Energy’s radiological standards.

 

Part 1 – Administrative Control Levels and Dose Limits. To accomplish DOE's objective of maintaining individual doses well below regulatory limits, challenging numerical administrative control levels should be established below the regulatory limits to administratively control and help minimize individual and collective radiation dose. These control levels should be multi-tiered with increasing levels of authority required to approve higher administrative control levels.

 

Part 2 – Contamination Control and Control Levels. Control of radioactive contamination is achieved by using engineered controls and worker performance to contain contamination at the source, reducing existing areas of contamination, and promptly decontaminating areas that become contaminated.

 

Part 3 – Posting. Radiological postings are intended to alert individuals to the presence of radiation and radioactive materials and to aid them in controlling exposures and preventing the spread of contamination. The types of postings required vary based on the application.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to industrial engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of radiological standards.

This online engineering PDH ethics course presents the principles of engineering ethics and statutes for Newfoundland and Labrador Professional Engineers.

 

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

 

This course will address the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession. This course also provides an overview of PEGNL’s general statutes and regulatory laws. It will also present unique ethical studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in Newfoundland and Labrador and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in ethical practice and regulatory learning as a condition of their license renewal.
