Health Physics - Industrial Hygiene Technician

The Health Physics/Industrial Hygiene Technician monitors, collects results and records data to formulate recommendations on radioactive and non-radioactive contaminants in the workplace environment. Understands and applies the appropriate meter and technique to use for radiological and industrial hygiene surveys for the uranium fuel cycle of various enrichments and types of feed sources. This includes expected daughter products, background radiation interference, isotopes that concentrate as a result of centrifuge processing, transuranic radionuclides, other hard to detect nuclides, chemicals, physical and biological agents in the environment and internal workplace.

What You Will Be Doing:

The statements herein are intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed by employees, but are not a complete list of responsibilities, duties, and skills required of personnel so classified.

- Performs, understands and applies technical activities in support of the Health Physics & Industrial Hygiene programs.

- Collects and records data using Health Physics & Industrial Hygiene equipment to monitor personnel and work areas for existence of and extent of hazard.

- Using math and tools such as spreadsheets, converts the raw readings from radiological surveys to meaningful units for radiation protection purposes. This includes but is not limited to beta dose rates, contamination levels in dpm/100cm 2 , airborne concentration in μCi/ml and percent DAC.

- Recognizes and takes the appropriate action when radiological or industrial hygiene conditions are outside the pre-defined safety envelope as may be described in a radiation work permit, per radiological postings, safety and health work permit or other unanticipated situations.

- May be required to work shift work or extended hours.
