PROJECT MONITORS
A,
General
i.
The plan of instruction for radiological safety monitors will be practical
in nature and, primarily, consist of field exercises and problers of
monitoring in radiologically contaminated areas, These exercises and
problems will be conducted over a 3 day period at the Nevada Proving
Ground or the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
A prerequisite for
monitors attending the course will be a reading knowledge of the ful.da~
mentals of rediclogical safety.
These fundamentals shold inclode:

Sources of information for this fundamental knowledge will be found in
Appendix 1 of this progran.
An informational quiz on the fundamental knowledge of the monitors will be
held just prior to the practical exercises of the instructional program.
