Assigned Radiation Monitor (ARMs) Information
Training Information
ARM qualification involves approximately one week of half-day
training sessions, on-the-job training, a written exam, and a
practical factors exercise. You must already be RW-I qualified to become an ARM.
Classroom Training
ARM
training is offered on request when multiple people require
training. Because there are multiple ARM training
categories (FEL, halls, VTA, etc.), a class may cover topics
which are not relevant to your particular work
assignment. However, the core radiation protection
topics are the same for all ARMs. To request that a
class be scheduled or to be put on a waiting list, please
contact
David Hamlette at 757-876-1743.
To renew your ARM qualification you need to attend a refresher class and re-take the written exam. To request a refresher class or to be put on a waiting list, please contact David Hamlette at 757-876-1743.
