Department of Energy Washington, DC 20585 November 18,2015 MEMORANDUM FOR JEFFREY D. FElT FROM: SUBJECT: OFFICE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR SAFETY BILL R. McARTHUR, PhD~C , DIRECTOR OFFICE OF WORKER SAF T ' ND HEALTH POLICY OFFICE OF HEALTH AN AFETY Cancellation of Department of Energy Handbook 1141-2008, Radiological Assessor Traillillg The Office of Worker Safety and Health Policy (AU-II) is proposing to cancel and archive Department of Energy (DOE) Handbook 1141-2008, Radiological Assessor Trailling (DOE­ HDBK-1141-2008), and submits this proposal for review and comment in accordance with Technical Standards Program (TSP) procedures. AU-II staff conducted a survey of DOE field and contractor training personnel and learned that sites that conduct radiological assessor training as described in DOE Standard 1098-2008, Radiological Con/rol, now have mature training programs, thus an update to DOE-HDBK-1141- 2008 is no longer needed. The survey found the standard was relevant and useful as archival material; however, it was not directly used as a training guide and; therefore, was not needed to be actively managed by the TSP. This handbook should be cancelled as an active document and be archived on the TSP Web site. The normal 60-day comment period is requested, which will begin once the document is posted and available in RevCom. The AU-II point of contact for this document is James Dillard, AU-II. Mr. Dillard can be reached at (301) 903-1165 or via e-mail at jamcs.dillal'd@hq.doe.gov. * Prinled with soy ink on recycled paper
