Designed by experts for BWR and PWR chemistry and radiation protection personnel, this course develops participants’ in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and delivers practical, hands-on learning and proven techniques for personnel who are responsible for REC and REMP activities. Common topics will be covered throughout the seminar as well as targeted design-specific topics for BWR and PWR.
Newly assigned program owners, backup program owners, and personnel with 2 to 5 years of experience, as well as long-term incumbents in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) programs, are encouraged to attend this training course. Regardless of where you are in your career, this class offers valuable opportunities to expand your knowledge, gain new perspectives, and connect concepts that can help solve technical challenges. ODCM programs are highly specialized, and many sites have limited local expertise available to provide technical oversight or support. This training serves as a forum for building an industry-wide network of peers and subject matter experts who can provide ongoing technical guidance and support as you develop, enhance, and maintain a robust program.
Our instructors include Douglas Wahl and Roger Tolbert with collectively over 60 years of experience in the Offsite Dose calculation Manual program.
Doug Wahl has worked in the nuclear industry since 1977 developing, maintaining and enhancing environmental programs including the offsite dose calculation manual programs and optimization initiatives. As a former utility employee as well as an industry consultant, Doug brings a very wide range of experiences and deep technical knowledge to the training session. Doug is the recipient of the Radioactive Effluents and Environmental Workshop (REEW) 2013 Jason Jang award for excellence in ODCM programs and maintaining technical knowledge throughout the industry.
Roger Tolbert has worked in the industry since 1985, providing expert advice, training and guidance to the nuclear industry effluents and radiological environmental monitoring programs within the nuclear industry. As a former utility employee and as well as in a consultant role, Roger brings a practical, hands on perspective to his training and mentoring approach.
This course provides practical, hands-on information and techniques for personnel responsible for the ODCM program and associated activities. Through this course, students develop a deeper knowledge of ODCM technical principles, regulatory basis, annual reports and practical application.
Training materials and activities are expertly designed to support, strengthen, and increase the knowledge and proficiency of program owners.
