TM 5-6635-386-12&P Specialist Course). (7)    A    minimum    of    40    hours    formal    training consisting of: (a) Principles and practices of radiation protection. (b) Biological effects of radiation. (c) Radiac instrumentation and monitoring techniques. (d)  Mathematics  and  calculations  that  are  basic to the use and measurement of radioactivity. (e) Operation and use of the tester (CPN Model MC-1). d.    Establish    a    standard    operating    procedure (SOP)  for  use  by  using  unit  personnel  that  has  been coordinated with the LRPO and RCO. e. Suspend use of tester if no qualified LRPO or ALRPO    is    available.    Assign    the    tester    operator    to maintain and wipe test the tester in accordance with the TM, until trained LRPOs are available. LRPO to pertorm leak tests, radiation surveys to ensure the tester is used only  by  trained  personnel,  and  to  prepare  and  submit necessary reports in accordance with Army and Federal regulations. f.    Notify    the    Commander,    TACOM,    of    any radiation  safety  defects  or  hazards  associated  with  the tester, and other actions that do not comply with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21. g.   Requisition   the   tester   from   the   NICP   item manager in accordance with AR 385-11. h. Obtain prior approval from both the RCO and the  NICP  when  transferring  the  tester  from  one  unit  to another,   even   within   the   same   command,   and   when requesting disposal instructions. Units in OCONUS shall also obtain prior approval from their Radiological Control Office    and    the    NICP,    when    transferring    the    tester between units. i.  Notify  the  RCO,  in  writing,  of  any  changes  in LRPO    and    ALRPO    assignments    or    tester    operator assignments  (if  the  using  unit  is  without  an  LRPO  and ALRPO). 4-10.  LOCAL  RADIATION  OFFICER  (LRPO).  Areas  of responsibility are: a.  Advise  the  unit  commander  on  all  radiation matters and ensure that all testers under the commander’s jurisdiction are properly used and stored. b.  Instruct  personnel  in  subjects  relating  to  safe work    practices,    emergency    procedures,    the    harmful effects   of   radiation   overexposure,   and   other   required topics in accordance with Title 10 CFR Parts 19 and 29 CFR 1910. c.   Write   and   update   the   SOP   for   the   units radiation   protection   program.   The   SOP   shall   include procedures covering the tester. d. Report any radiation incident, accident or theft immediately  to  Commander,  TACOM,  ATTN:   AMSTA- CZ,   by   the   most   expeditious   methods   available;   i.e., telephone   and   teletype.   Then,   make   the   same   report through  channels,  to  the  Surgeon  General.  Thefts  will also  be  reported  by  the  Commander,  TACOM,  ATTN: AMSTA-CZ, to the NRC.  NRC Regional office telephone numbers are provided in NRC Form 3 which is part of AR 385-1 1. Information  copies  of  reports  shall  be  provided to all intermediate headquarters. e.   Perform   radiation   leak   tests   in   accordance with the procedure provided in paragraph 4-27. Leak   test   results   shall   include   the   LRPOs   name   and telephone number, and the tester serial number. f.  Upon  receipt  of  the  tester,  conduct  the  initial radiation  survey  of  the  storage  area  and  surroundings. Make  certain  that  a  copy  of  the  NRC  license  and  other documents  required  by  4-19.a  are  appropriately  posted at the outside entrance to the storage enclosure. A copy of    the    initial    radiation    survey    shall    be    sent    to    the Commander,     TACOM,     ATTN:     AMSTA-CZ.     Periodic surveys conducted on at least a quarterly basis shall be recorded     locally.     Whenever     a     change     in     storage conditions  occur,  a  copy  of  the  survey  shall  be  sent  to the Commander, TACOM, ATTN: AMSTA-CZ. g. Ensure correct shipment of radioactive items, both to and from the unit. See Para 5-16. 4-3
