From third Health Physics Society midyear topical symposium; Los Angeles, California, USA (29 Jan 1969). See CONF-690103P3. A two-part program consisting of a classroom training period and extended formal in-plant training is being conducted by Idaho Nuclear Corporation (IN) to train health physics technicians for radiation safety control. Both phases cover operational health physics practices such as instrumentation usage, radiation and contamination control, safe work permit procedures, and emergency actions. Training aids include vast physical facilities, two training manuals, an on-the-job training guide, and extensive instrumentation. The program is designed to train IN employed health physics technicians and Idaho State University Radiation Protection Technology students. The IN personnel are trained for working in IN operated nuclear reactor and radioc plant areas while the Idaho State University sessions are geared to provide broad health physics training to cover the needs of AEC contractors, universities, laboratories, and hospitals. The specific requirements and the program variations needed to accomplish training for each group are discussed. (auth)
