1248 App B INTRODUCTION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Materials Health Physics Inspector (inspector) qualification program requires completion of a variety of activities designed to help you, the inspector 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 describe a successful inspector. The role of an inspector is to determine if licensees are performing activities involving licensed radioactive material safely and securely and in accordance with NRC regulations, guidance, and license conditions. The inspectors role is not to set policy in the areas of health and safety or security.

Inspectors should refer policy questions to management and the program office.

A competent inspector 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.

Acquire 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.

PROGRAM ORGANIZATION The inspector qualification process develops your awareness of the role of the agency, your role and skill as an inspector, and your technical expertise for conducting health and safety and security inspections. 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 an inspector. Upon successful completion of all the activities in the qualification journal, including the qualification board, you become eligible to receive the Materials Health Physics Inspector 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

Issue Date: XX/XX/25 2

1248 App B as a way to meet inspector qualification requirements. The signature cards, certification, and equivalency justification pages form the permanent record of completing the inspector qualification program.

Upon certification, the qualification memorandum will be placed into the Agencywide Document Access and Management System (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 inspector may retain their qualification signature and equivalency card(s).

Your immediate supervisor should consider assigning a qualified inspector 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 Inspector Qualification. All Materials Health Physics Inspectors involved with the materials security program must take S-201 or be able to demonstrate that they have the equivalent training or experience. The following courses may be taken in any order:

Root Cause/Incident Investigation Workshop (G-205)

Inspection Procedures (G-108)

Licensing Practices and Procedures (G-109)

Transportation of Radioactive Materials Self-Study Course (H-308s)

NRC Materials Control, Security Systems & Principles (S-201)

Medical Uses of Radiation Self Study Course (H-317S)

Industrial Radiography (H-305)

Fundamental Health Physics Self-Study Course (H-122S)

Advanced Health Physics (H-201)

Issue Date: XX/XX/25 3

1248 App B Human Resources Learning and Development (HRLD) suggests candidates take the Advanced Health Physics (H-201) course as one of their last required courses. The H-201 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 H-201 later in the qualification program.

Immediate supervisors have the authority to grant equivalency for any of the training based on the experience of the candidate seeking qualification as an inspector. Document the reason on Form 1: Materials Health Physics Inspector Equivalency Justification. While your immediate supervisor may waive certain classes, your qualification still requires certification by your regional administrator, office director, or their designee.

Your immediate supervisor will determine the appropriate training courses you must take to complete the inspector qualification. For example, your immediate supervisor may require you to complete the Safety Aspects of Well Logging course (H-314) or the Irradiator Technology course (H-315) or both (see Specialized Training Courses below) if your region has a significant number of these licensed programs to inspect.

SPECIALIZED TRAINING COURSES The specialized training classes listed below should 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 inspector qualification. For example, your immediate supervisor may require you to complete the Safety Aspects of Well Logging course (H-314) or the Irradiator Technology course (H-315) or both (see Specialized Training Courses below) if your region has a significant number of these licensees.

Environmental Monitoring and Air Sampling for Radioactivity Course (H-130S)

Environmental Monitoring and Air Sampling for Radioactivity Lab Course (H-130L)

Fundamental Health Physics Labs (H-122L)

Respiratory Protection (H-311S)

Internal Dosimetry Self-Study Course (H-312S)

Well Logging (H-314)

NOTE: Advanced Health Physics (H-201) is a challenging 4.5 day course that should not be taken unless the candidate has had previous health physics education and/or experience. The NRC offers fundamental health physics courses (see Specialized Training Courses section below) that first should be considered: 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 B Irradiator Technology (H-315)

Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation (MARSSIM Self Study) (H-121S)

Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Assessment of Materials and Equipment (MARSAME Self-Study) (H-120S)

RESRAD Overview (H-408)

Advanced RESRAD Training Workshop (H-412)

MILDOS-Area Training Workshop (H-413)

Visual Sample Plan (H-500)

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 inspectors 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 inspector completed his or her qualification and will begin in the next triennial cycle. The inspectors immediate supervisor may grant a 6-month extension if, for good reason, the inspector is 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 inspectors immediate supervisor will determine the training courses the inspector 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 (H-401), 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 inspectors 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, inspectors 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 inspector. 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 B To receive credit and track the number of hours needed for refresher training for training offered outside of the NRC training catalog, the inspector 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 inspectors management will resolve the concern.

MATERIALS HEALTH PHYSICS INSPECTOR COMPETENCIES The training and qualification program detailed in this qualification journal ensures that every inspector 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)

Determining acceptability of information by comparing to established criteria (Inspection and Licensing Activities)

Objectively analyzing and integrating information using a safety focus to identify the appropriate regulatory conclusion and regulatory response (Enforcement)

NOTE: Inspectors may retake a course they have taken previously. An immediate supervisor should consider whether it would be beneficial for the inspector to retake the course. An immediate supervisor should consider whether there have been changes in technology, regulations, or if the course has changed considerably since the last time the inspector took the course before allowing a course to be retaken as refresher training. If the immediate supervisor allows the inspector to retake the course, the inspector must complete and pass the exam, if the course has one, to receive credit for the course.

Issue Date: XX/XX/25 27 1248 App B MATERIALS HEALTH PHYSICS INSPECTOR ON-THE-JOB ACTIVITIES The Appendix B OJT activities require you to perform inspection accompaniments, as assigned by your immediate supervisor, under the supervision of qualified inspectors. Typically, you will be expected to assist the qualified inspector on the first inspections and then gradually take on more of the responsibility for the inspection until you are leading the inspection. The activities allow you to observe and perform key inspector tasks.

Like the ISAs, each OJT activity tells you why the activity is important and what you are expected to complete successfully during the activity. The OJT activities do not specify that a particular number of inspection accompaniments need to be completed before the immediate supervisor considers you to be competent because numbers of completions dont always reflect competency. This is something only your immediate supervisor, assisted by the qualified inspector working with you, can determine.

When your immediate supervisor concludes you are competent to inspect a specific program code or group of program codes on your own, they can request that you be given interim qualification for the work you have demonstrated yourself to be competent. Interim qualification is approved by division management. Eventually, your immediate supervisor will determine you are ready to demonstrate your full competency at an oral qualification board.

Your immediate supervisor has the authority to grant equivalency to any of the OJT activities by completing Form 1: Materials Health Physics Inspector 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 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.

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 or qualified inspector for evaluation.

Issue Date: XX/XX/25 28 1248 App B TOPIC:
