Quebec Nuclear 15 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course presents information about the conduct of radiological work in accordance with the department of energy regulations. The sections in this course focus on planning and preparation of radiological work, entry and exit requirements, radiological work controls, evaluation performance, special applications, as well as design and control.

DOE regulations for occupational radiation protection require written authorizations to control access to and work in radiological areas. The level of detail included in such authorizations is dependent upon facility hazards and the nature of the work force. Technical requirements for the conduct of work, including construction, modifications, operations, maintenance, and decommissioning, should incorporate radiological criteria to ensure safety and maintain radiation exposures as low as reasonably possible.

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 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 online engineering PDH course provides guidance on handling of radioactive material including identification, storage and control as well as release and transportation of this material. It also discusses the management and control of solid radioactive waste, radioactive liquids, and airborne radioactivity. Finally, it describes the procedures for monitoring and decontamination of materials, tools, and equipment contaminated with radioactive material.

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 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.
