Delivery/Location: Fort Collins
This is a five-day examination-based course designed to prepare qualified candidates 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".
This course helps prepare you for the examination; it is not the actual exam .The NRRPT administers the examination in February and August of each year 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.
The NRRPT Exam Review course gives participants a means to identify areas for improvement within the NRRPT "required knowledges." It remains the candidate's responsibility to use this instrument to further prepare for the examination.
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.
This course has an online component delivered through RamCT.
Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
