Grade 1


Hello evryone for those of you who do not know I was shifted to day work last week for the purpose of taking a Hazardous Materials Technician course. This picture is not one of my happier pictures! I am trying to retain all the information but it seems to be slipping out everywhere. I mean Who knew that the decontamination corridor is suppose to be 5 m back from twice background when dealing with a radioactive haz mat like cobalt 60.


Hydrant haha: What do a walrus and tupperware have in common?

The difference between measurement of background radiation and that produced by contamination may be slight, determining the background (natural occuring)radiation level prior to performing a survey is important. In other words, the distance from the source to the cold zone times TWO.Please see my Blog for certificate. Moose-Sr.

What the hell are you guys talking about, background, contamination, natural occouring, my arse is getting sore sitting in this chair at work trying to de-syfer this blog, I think I'll lie down now and have a nap, all this twice stuff is tireing me out and nuclear operators need their rest in case something goes wrong. Night night.

Hey I like your answer Sockit-Chick. I'm not good at solving riddles. I haven't talk to you Nozzle in a couple of days. I babysat the Gallant clan tonight and got home too late to call you. I hope you are doing ok in your course. You got the moose-Man. He had to dig out his books to answer your question, and I don't know that he even knew what he was talking about. Don't tell him I said that. Study hard!

What the hell are you people doing awake, I can somewhat justify it as I'm being paid to stay alert, yea right fat chance but you folks have got to get to bed or to work or to rehab as blogging has obviously taken control of you.

Joke time; A penquin takes his car to the shop for repairs as it is smelling of burnt oil, the mechanic tells Mr. penquin that it will be a while and that he could kill some time at the ice cream parlour across the street. Mr. penquin agrees and woddles as penquins do over for an ice cream, after some time had passed, as penquins don't have hands so it takes considerably longer for them to eat an ice cream using only their beak Mr. penquin woddles back to the repair shop to get the prognosis on his penquin mobile. Upon entering the shop the mechanic strolls up to Mr. penquin and says LOOKS LIKE YOU BLEW A SEAL at which time Mr. penquin replis NO THATS JUST A LITTLE ICE CREAM.

What a shocker Nuc........and as for Mrs Sockit-chick getting the answers - thats a concern! All I know is that two Alpines is better then one.
I'm starting the official count down until touch-down and the taste of that cool Canadian amber liquid.......don't worry Nuc, you'll be out of hibernation by then!
Good luck with your Hazchem study Nozzleguy (even I had to do that one for when our truckies fall off the road - I just make sure I'm about 400m back and let the Fire boys deal to it as they have all the gear!)

Yeah - they make us do Dangerous Goods and Hazchem every year - and we're very glamorous international flight attendants - bloody hell. I know how to use the PBE smokehoods and the fireextinguishers on the aircraft - I've even put a oven fire out - does that qualify me to become a real life action hero fire fighter or, is there a little more to it - I knopw how to use a defibrillator too. Can I join, can I join????
