Subject: Training Question for DOE facilities


I'm checking which way the wind's blowing on a training issue.  If
you're at a DOE facility, can you please respond (or pass along to your
training gurus) to these quick questions - directly to me.  I'll post
results.

Thanks.

1.  Do you train in the following categories: (as defined by 10CFR835)

    GERT                                YES
    Radworker	                        YES
    Radcon Technician               YES

2.  Is passing a test required for initial qualification in:

    GERT                         YES
    Radworker                  YES
    RCT                             YES

3.  Is passing a test required for re-qualification in:

    GERT                           YES
    Radworker                      YES
    RCT                               YES

4.  If you didn't have to (for the ones you do), would you test for
re-qualification anyway on:

    GERT                        YES
    Radworker                   YES
    RCT                            YES

4b.  If you answered yes on some but not all in 4, describe your
rationale for when testing "should" be required.
 
Per WIPP Radiation Safety Manual based on 10CFR835

5.  In your opinion, does the current version of 835 require testing in
both initial and retraining on :

    GERT                                   YES
    Radworker                              YES
    RCT                                        YES DEFINITELY

6.  Are you aware of any Technical Position from DOE allowing waiving of
testing for any of the above training.  Please cite reference.
NO

Thanks again.
