RC-152 Basic Regulatory Awareness
This introductory level course
is typically two days in duration. (One and
three day variations are also available)
These courses are designed for personnel
who have little or no previous exposure to
the regulations or WMG computer programs.
The pace of instruction can be tailored to the
experience level of attendees. The courses
are structured to ensure basic knowledge
of relevant regulations is achieved and are
presented through a series of topical lectures
with hands-on functional exercises. These
courses require successful completion of a
multiple choice written exemination for a
completion certificate.
Typically, clients completing these courses
should only perform shipping functions under
the supervision or oversight of an
experienced and qualified shipper.
These courses can be provided separately
or combined with the RC-102 level course to
address attendance by students with varying
levels of involvement in the radioactive
material management process.

RC-102 Use of WMG Computer Programs and Regulatory Compliance
RC-102 is a comprehensive intermediate level
four day course for technicians, engineers
and supervisors, who use or audit WMG’s
radioactive material management computer
programs on a regular basis. This course is
designed for experienced personnel and is
presented at an accelerated pace. It is
structured to ensure that all key operational
and maintenance functions for the following
WMG computer programs are addressed in
depth: RADMAN™, RAMSHP™, FILTRK™ and
OSM™.
The course is presented with a series of
topical lectures following the training manual
and structured hands–on functional
exercises with varying degrees of difficulty.
It requires the successful completion of an
integrated written exam and computer code
I/O examination.
RC-300 Transportation of Radioactive Material by Air
No prior exposure to the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations is required for this course.
This is an introductory course for the
transportation of radioactive materials by air
and is only available with the intermediate
level RC-102 course. The course addresses
the minimum training curricula described in
Table 1.5.A of the IATA Dangerous Goods
Regulations. This course addresses the
specific code functions associated with air
transport of radioactive materials. It requires
the successful completion of an integrated
written exam.

!NEW 10 CFR Part 61 - Regulatory Compliance
This course is designed for Radwaste/Chemistry individuals responsible for 10 CFR 61 sample
database managment and QA auditors/inspectors performing oversight functions for the stations
10 CFR 61 Compliance Program.
The two day course provides a review of the Regulatory Chronology/10 CFR 61 Compliance Program
Bases and applies that information to establish methodologies for:
|
|
•
|
Defining waste streams
|
|
•
|
Sampling protocols
|
|
•
|
Frequency requirements
|
|
•
|
Appropriate implementation of updated data

RC-1000 Certification Course
RC-1000 intense five-day course is for
personnel who regularly perform, evaluate
or supervise radioactive material management
activities using WMG's computer programs.
Successful completion of RC-102 is typically
a prerequisite for attendance.
It emphasizes application of the RADMAN™
computer program considering its technical
basis, structure and operational features.
Code limitations for routine and unusual
applications are addressed. WMG’s
RAMSHP™, MegaShield™ and FILTRK™
computer programs are also discussed and
exercised indepth. Classroom lectures/discussions are combined with hands-on
computer applications and problem solving
sessions. A majority of time is spent either
solving problems at the computer station or
doing practical exercises solving realistic
packaging and shipping problems routinely
encountered. Two WMG subject matter
experts provide instruction for this course.
The last day includes a course review and a
comprehensive question and problem solving
examination which requires a minimum of four
hours to complete.
