NRRPT

The need for the NRRPT evolved out of the nuclear industry's desire for responsible and competent radiation protection technologists in the pre-Three Mile Island era. The NRRPT was established in 1976 through the sponsorship of the Health Physics Society and the American Board of Health Physics. Several senior HPS members were instrumental in founding the NRRPT. The NRRPT maintains ties with the HPS and ABHP and meets regularly in conjunction with the Mid-Year and Annual HPS Meetings... The objective of the NRRPT is to encourage and promote the education and training of radiation protection technologists and, by so doing, promote and advance the science of health physics. To do this, the NRRPT has established a credentialing exam. This, criteria based, 150 question exam covers broad-based radiation protection knowledge of accelerators, university health physics programs, medical health physics, power reactors, government radiological facilities, radioactive waste disposal,..
