1248 App A INTRODUCTION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Materials Health Physics License Reviewer (license reviewer) qualification program requires completion of a variety of activities designed to help you, the license reviewer candidate, learn information or practice skills important to independently performing this critical function. When you have completed the entire qualification process, you will have demonstrated each of the competencies that delineate a successful license reviewer. The role of a license reviewer is to implement NRC policy by determining if activities proposed in the license application can be performed safely and securely and in compliance with NRC regulations, using NRC guidance documents. The license reviewers role is not to set policy in the areas of health and safety or security. A license reviewer should refer policy questions to management and the program office.
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, gave authority to perform materials license reviews to the Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards (NMSS), and the NMSS Director delegated licensing authority to the NMSS staff. For many years, licensing was only performed by headquarters staff in NMSS. In a memorandum dated October 6, 1987, the NMSS Director and the Executive Director for Operations delegated authority for performing certain license reviews to the regional administrators (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100830226). The regional administrators each redelegated authority for licensing to the directors of the regional divisions responsible for materials licensing, currently the Division of Radiological Safey and Security (DRSS), and specified their requirements for further redelegation to the DRSS staff. In implementing Appendix A to Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 1248 for license reviewers, care should be taken to comply with the regional administrators requirements as specified in the delegation of authority.
A competent license reviewer should:
- a.
Understand the legal basis and the processes used for achieving the NRCs regulatory objectives.
- b.
Acquire a fundamental understanding of the NRCs organizational structure, mission, goals, and objectives.
- c.
Understand the basis for the authority of the agency.
- d.
Understand the processes established to achieve the regulatory objectives.
- e.
Master the techniques and skills needed to collect, analyze, and integrate information using a safety and security focus to develop a supportable regulatory conclusion.
- f.
Have the personal and interpersonal skills to carry out assigned regulatory activities either individually or as a member of a team.
Issue Date: XX/XX/25 2
1248 App A PROGRAM ORGANIZATION The license reviewer qualification process develops your awareness of the role of the agency, your role and skill as a license reviewer, and your technical expertise for reviewing licensing actions for the purposes of protecting health and safety and security.
The final activity in the qualification process is to appear before a qualification board.
Successful completion of the qualification board examination validates your understanding of the role of the agency, NMSS programs, and your role as a license reviewer. Upon successful completion of all the activities in the qualification journal, including the qualification board, you become eligible to receive the Materials Health Physics License Reviewer Qualification Certification.
QUALIFICATION JOURNAL ORGANIZATION The qualification journal identifies the training courses, the Individual Study Activities (ISAs), and On-The-Job Training (OJT) activities you must complete. Document your progress on the signature cards and certifications as you move through the qualification process. The journal also contains a form to document the justification for accepting equivalent training or experience as a way to meet license reviewer qualification requirements. The signature cards, certification, and equivalency justification pages form the permanent record of completing the license reviewer qualification program.
Upon certification, the qualification memorandum will be placed into the ADAMS and the qualification information entered into the Talent Management System (TMS) by sending a request to TrainingSupport.Resource@nrc.gov. The request to the TMS support group shall include the persons name, qualification achieved, date qualified and the Accession number of the ADAMS entry. The certification document that was placed into ADAMS and recorded in TMS shall serve as proof of inspector qualification. The license reviewer may retain their qualification signature and equivalency card(s).
Your immediate supervisor should assign a qualified license reviewer to assist you. This person would serve as a resource and mentor by answering any questions or providing guidance as you work to complete this qualification journal.
REQUIRED TRAINING COURSES The required training courses are the minimum courses you should take to complete the Materials Health Physics License Reviewer Qualification. The following courses may be taken in any order:
Medical Uses of Radiation Self-Study Course (H317S)
Industrial Radiography (H305)
Inspection Procedures (G108)
Licensing Practices and Procedures (G109)
Transportation of Radioactive Materials Self-Study Course (H308S)
Issue Date: XX/XX/25 3
1248 App A NRC Materials Control, Security Systems & Principles (S201)
Fundamental Health Physics (H122S)
Fundamental Health Physics Labs (H122L)
Advanced Health Physics (H201)
Human Resources Learning & Development (HRLD) suggests candidates take the Advanced Health Physics (H201) course as one of their last required courses. The H201 course builds on the different concepts taught in the other training courses. HRLD believes that candidates will have a better understanding of health physics concepts and technology if they take the H201 later in the qualification program.
Immediate supervisors have the authority to waive any of the training based on the experience of the candidate seeking qualification as a license reviewer. Document the reason for the waiver on Form 1: Materials Health Physics License Reviewer Equivalency Justification. While your immediate supervisor may waive certain classes, your qualification still requires certification by your regional administrator, office director, or their designee.
SPECIALIZED TRAINING COURSES The specialized training classes listed below may be completed as part of your training but are not required for formal qualifications. Your immediate supervisor will determine the appropriate training courses you must take to complete the license reviewer qualification based on the types of licensing work you will be assigned. For example, your immediate supervisor may require you to complete the Safety Aspects of Well Logging course (H314) or the Irradiator Technology course (H315) or both (see Specialized Training Courses below) if your region has a significant number of these licensees.
Root Cause/Incident Investigation Workshop (G205)
Environmental Monitoring and Air Sampling for Radioactivity Course (H130S)
Environmental Monitoring and Air Sampling for Radioactivity Lab Course (H130L)
Respiratory Protection (H311S)
Internal Dosimetry Self-Study Course (H312S)
Well Logging (H314)
NOTE: Advanced Health Physics (H-201) is a challenging 4.5-day course. Prior to enrolling in this course, the NRC requires that the following courses be completed as prerequisites: Fundamental HP Self-Study Course (H-122S) and Fundamental Health Physics Labs (H-122L). The candidates resource or mentor and/or immediate supervisor should be able to help determine which courses, if any, the candidate should take before enrolling in the Advanced Health Physics (H-201) course.
Issue Date: XX/XX/25 4
1248 App A Irradiator Technology (H315)
Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation (MARSSIM Self-Study) (H121S)
Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Assessment of Materials and Equipment (MARSSAME Self-Study) (H120S)
RESRAD Overview (H408)
Advanced RESRAD Training Workshop (H412)
MILDOS-Area Training Workshop (H413)
Visual Sampling Plan (H500)
Additional courses may be developed after the publication of this qualification journal.
Immediate supervisors may include these new specialized training courses in the qualification journals.
REFRESHER TRAINING Qualified license reviewers must maintain their qualification by completing 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> of refresher training in the established requalification triennial cycle. The beginning of each requalification cycle will be determined using the year the license reviewer completed their qualification and will begin in the next triennial cycle. The license reviewers immediate supervisor may grant a 6-month extension, if for good reason, the license reviewer was unable to complete the required refresher training within the limits of the requalification cycle.
Refresher training may consist of either health and safety or security topics. The qualified license reviewers immediate supervisor will determine the training courses the license reviewer needs and will coordinate with HRLD staff, as necessary, to obtain the needed training.
Additionally, the supervisor can consult with HRLD staff to help identify specific courses that the staff member can take for refresher training. Examples of training that may be considered include: Health Physics Topics (H401), NRC technical training courses, external training courses, attending lectures, developing presentations on subjects related to health and safety or security, directed self-study courses, or other training approved by the qualified license reviewers immediate supervisor.
It is important to note that only taking a single course may not be enough refresher training.
Completing the refresher training will depend on the number of hours that the qualified staff member has completed.
Before taking refresher training, license reviewers should receive approval from their immediate supervisor to confirm that the training will be credited as refresher training. The immediate supervisor should take into consideration the objectives of the training and determine whether the training will be beneficial to the license reviewer. When considering a self-study style of training, the immediate supervisor should determine whether the training is appropriately structured. If the immediate supervisor is unsure if the self-study training is appropriate, he or she may want to consult with HRTD staff for its analysis of the training.
Issue Date: XX/XX/25 5
1248 App A To receive credit and track the number of hours needed for refresher training for training offered outside of the NRC training catalog, the license reviewer and immediate supervisor should provide the course details (title of training, number of hours, etc.) to either his or her division training coordinator or the appropriate HRTD staff. If there is any concern about the content of the training, HRTD management and the qualified license reviewers management will resolve the concern.
MATERIALS HEALTH PHYSICS LICENSE REVIEWER COMPETENCIES The training and qualification program detailed in this qualification journal ensures that every license reviewer acquires competency in three general areas:
Area 1: Understand the legal basis and the regulatory processes for achieving the NRCs regulatory objectives by:
Acquiring a fundamental understanding of the NRCs organizational structure, mission, goals, and objectives (Regulatory Framework)
Understanding the basis for the authority of the agency (Regulatory Framework)
Understanding the processes established to achieve the regulatory objectives (Regulatory Framework)
Area 2: Acquire the techniques and skills needed to collect, analyze, and integrate information using a safety and security focus to develop a supportable regulatory conclusion by:
Independently gathering information through objective review, observation, and open communication (Inspection)
Evaluating licensing information by conducting an objective review (Licensing Activities)

Under the common signature authority process, staff will focus on learning the licensing process and gain an understanding of a specific area of review. At the completion of qualification program, the staff member will have the experience sufficient to receive signature authority in that program area.
Your immediate supervisor has the authority to waive any of the OJT modules by completing Form 1: Materials Health Physics License Reviewer Equivalency Justification, found at the end of this qualification journal.
THE FOLLOWING GENERAL GUIDANCE APPLIES AS YOU COMPLETE THE VARIOUS ON-THE-JOB ACTIVITIES:
Complete all parts of each activity.
Your immediate supervisor, qualified license reviewer, or qualified inspector will act as a resource as you complete each activity. Discuss any questions you may have about how a task must be done or how the guidance is to be applied. Your immediate supervisor will also designate other qualified license reviewers to work with you as you complete the various activities.
You are responsible for keeping track of the tasks you have completed. Be sure that you have completed all aspects of an OJT activity before you meet with your immediate supervisor, qualified license reviewer, or qualified inspector for evaluation.

Issue Date: XX/XX/25 Att-2.1 1248 App A : Common Signature Authority Process Part of the qualification process for a license reviewer qualifying under IMC 1248, Appendix A involves obtaining signature authority to independently review licensing actions (new applications, amendments, renewals, and terminations). The immediate supervisor, in consultation with the mentor(s), will regularly evaluate the candidates licensing reviews (casework) under the supervision of a qualified reviewer and grant the signature authority for the program codes the qualifying individual has demonstrated competency.
The qualifying individual must be assigned and complete the necessary casework to obtain core signature authority before being evaluated by the qualification board. The supervisor may tailor the core signature authority by assigning one or two additional groupings called, discretionary signature authority, during the qualification period. Any groups in the core or discretionary signature authority grouping not completed during the qualification period will be assigned to be completed within a year of qualification, together with other post-qualification groups identified by the supervisor.
Post-qualification any program codes not covered in the core or discretionary signature authority groups are divided into the post-qualification signature authority groups. It is expected that the supervisor and the qualifying individual will implement a yearly plan which specifies the post-qualification signature authority to be achieved during that period. As the reviewer continues to gain signature authority, the supervisor and license reviewer will revise the yearly plan and continue to identify the post-qualification signature authority groups to be achieved.
Your Region may not have every category of program code. In cases where there is not a certain category of license or very limited numbers such that it may not be possible for the candidate to complete the qualification journal in a reasonable period of time, the immediate supervisor may decide whether the specific program code needs to be completed for the candidate to complete his or her qualification. Alternatively, an immediate supervisor can have a candidate conduct license reviews of previously completed casework. It is not necessary nor expected that each license reviewer obtains signature authority in all the groups or program codes. However, the supervisor must ensure it has the needed qualified staff, with the needed signature authorities, to process licensing casework in their organization.
