  1. Brief workers on radiation levels in work areas.
  2. Calculate safe radiation exposure times for personnel using plant contamination readings and prescribed safe levels of radiation.
  3. Monitor personnel to determine the amounts and intensities of radiation exposure.
  4. Inform supervisors when individual exposures or area radiation levels approach maximum permissible limits.
  5. Provide initial response to abnormal events or to alarms from radiation monitoring equipment.
  6. Determine intensities and types of radiation in work areas, equipment, or materials, using radiation detectors or other instruments.
  7. Instruct personnel in radiation safety procedures and demonstrate use of protective clothing and equipment.
  8. Collect samples of air, water, gases, or solids to determine radioactivity levels of contamination.
  9. Analyze samples, such as air or water samples, for contaminants or other elements.
  10. Enter data into computers to record characteristics of nuclear events or to locate coordinates of particles.
  11. Determine or recommend radioactive decontamination procedures, according to the size and nature of equipment and the degree of contamination.
  12. Set up equipment that automatically detects area radiation deviations and test detection equipment to ensure its accuracy.
  13. Calibrate and maintain chemical instrumentation sensing elements and sampling system equipment, using calibration instruments and hand tools.
  14. Prepare reports describing contamination tests, material or equipment decontaminated, or methods used in decontamination processes.
  15. Place radioactive waste, such as sweepings or broken sample bottles, into containers for shipping or disposal.
  16. Decontaminate objects by cleaning with soap or solvents or by abrading with wire brushes, buffing wheels, or sandblasting machines.
  17. Calibrate, maintain, and repair chemical instrumentation sensing elements and sampling system equipment, using calibration instruments and hand tools.
  18. Document results from radiation and contamination surveys.
  19. Inspect, test, and maintain respiratory protection equipment.
  20. Write radiological work permits.
