Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Radiation levels in active work areas — brief workers clearly and accurately before job tasks begin in moderate-hazard plant zones.
  • Safe exposure time calculations — perform independently using current contamination readings and regulatory dose-rate limits for routine work permits.
  • Personnel radiation exposure data — monitor continuously across a shift and flag trends approaching permissible limits to supervisors.
  • Area radiation intensity and type — determine by selecting and applying appropriate detectors for alpha, beta, and gamma sources in plant environments.
  • Initial response actions — execute according to emergency operating procedures when alarms trigger on radiation monitoring panels.
  • Collected environmental samples — analyze preliminary results using analytical software and compare against established reference levels.
  • Radiation safety procedures — instruct co-workers and new personnel in classroom and field settings using facility-approved training materials.
  • Radiation survey data — document and report in formal shift logs and office suite software for regulatory record compliance.
  • Dose calculations and exposure histories — maintain in plant information systems using industrial control and spreadsheet software with minimal supervision.
  • Contamination boundaries — establish and post for work areas based on survey results and radiological work permit requirements.
