Intended Audience:
Federal and state agency personnel involved in site cleanup activities
that include conducting radiation surveys and investigations to meet the
requirements of the Final Status Survey.
Course Description:
The Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) was recently produced jointly by DOD, DOE, EPA and the NRC. This
course provides information essential to environmental personnel responsible
for planning, conducting, evaluating and documenting building surface and
surface soil final status radiological surveys for demonstrating compliance with
dose or risk-based regulations or standards. The course supports the MARSSIM
objective to bring about a nationally consistent approach for conducting
radiation surveys and investigations at potentially contaminated sites
nationwide. This course assists site and regulatory personnel in assessing
Final Status Surveys. The course is highly interactive and features DOE and EPA
guest speakers, problem-solving exercises, and case studies. Handouts,
references, and a copy of the MARSSIM manual are provided. Participants will
receive 2.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for completion of this course.
This course also qualifies for 32 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for
Certified Health Physicist under the American Academy of Health Physics (AAHP).
Topics covered include:
-
Overview of the Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Process
-
Survey Planning and Design
-
Field Measurement Methods and Instrumentation
-
Interpretation of Survey Results
Comments:
On April 16, 1999, the MARSSIM manual and this course were awarded
a Hammer Award by Vice President Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing
government.
PREREQUISITES: NONE. However, attendees should have a working
level knowledge of basic radiological principles and familiarity with the
following statistical concepts: measures of central tendency (mean and median),
standard deviation, frequency distributions, standard errors, confidence
intervals, and the testing of statistical hypotheses. Preparatory materials for
these subjects are available to the students prior to the course.
