NORM Surveyor

Embark on a comprehensive learning journey with our NORM Surveyor course, meticulously designed to equip participants with essential knowledge in radiation detection, surveying instruments, legal limits, and practical surveying techniques. Immerse yourself in engaging presentations, hands-on exercises, and real-world scenarios to enhance your understanding of NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) surveying.

• Timetable:8 hour(s)
• Certification:NORM Surveyor

Course Overview

Delve into the intricacies of survey instruments, exploring basic radiation detectors such as scintillation detectors, gas-filled detectors, and the Ludlum (Geiger/Mueller) Meter. Understand the calibration requirements, pre-operational checks, and response to a radiation source, using equipment relevant to your facility.

Learn about units of measure in radiation, modifying units like milli, micro, nano, and pico, and gain insights into how measurements are reported. Familiarize yourself with terms like Roentgen, Curie, counts per minute (CPM), and other measurement terms crucial for NORM detection.

Navigate the legal landscape surrounding NORM, including federal and state regulations, as well as specific limits for equipment, tubular materials, waste, land, washwater, and rinse water. Understand the classification of radiation surveys, documentation, and practical considerations when performing surveys, including sampling for NORM in soils, liquids, and sludge.

Explore safety protocols such as checking individuals for radioactive contamination, frisking procedures, and the importance of signs and labels in various NORM areas. Discuss common personal protective equipment (PPE) and techniques for proper fit, condition, donning, and removal of PPE in potentially contaminated environments.

As we commence the NORM Surveyor Training, we unravel the complexities of radiation detection, legal limits, and practical surveying techniques. This training is your gateway to understanding the intricacies of survey instruments, calibration procedures, and the legal framework governing NORM.
