'ATTAC!! MENT FOR APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL' NUCLEAR MATERIAL LICENSE TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS.
-John R. Uright, J Chemistry and. Radiation Protection ' Engineer Job Fesnonsibilities 1.
The Chemistry and. Radiation Protection Engineer is responsible-to the Nuclear Plant Superintendent for determining and' reporting radiation hazards to personnel and equipment in and about the nuclear-power plant.
He maintains. radiation. exposure records of all' plant personnel and-visitors. He ' established radiation safety regulations and1 emergency l
procedures.for protection of plant equipment and personnel working arcund the nuclear plant.
He' evaluates radiation hazards associated with emergency conditions and established procedures which will insure protection r
of plant personnel and,the general.public.
He is responsible for all. vater treatment.for the reactor, fuel storage
.pnol. vaste process system, and feedvater and condensate treatment for the secondary system.
2 He directs a group of Laboratory Technicians who obtain samples from the reacter, vaste treatment. plant, and fuel storage pool. These samples are prepared by radiochemical techniques for analysis in the counting room to determine their radioactivity.
He is responsible for measuring and reporting radiation-activity levels of all liquids and gases leaving the plant.
He vill be available for emergency call-out and knowledgeable of all supervisory positions to insure organizational flexibility.-

Education 1
Mr. Wright graduated from High School in 1950. Under the auspices of Ctabe Colleges and Universities of the North West, he attended Hanford Cahool of Engineering studying elective night courses in Chemistry, Physics, Radiation Measurements, and Radiobiology. Additionally, he-attended and participated in numerous State-of-the-Art seminars related to rrtdiological health as the science was being developed.
[
3 Nuclear Training Mr. Wright completed the Radiation Monitoring Unit Training Frogram at Hanferd: Atomic Products Operation.
This included a year on-the-jot-training and classroom work in Environnental Gurveillance and Applied Health-Thysics.
