Subject:	NRMP - RAM Transportation Examination Requirements
Radioactive Materials (RAM) Transportation Examination
(Required for all personnel who handle, package, 
receive, or document shipments of RAM)

To all Radiation Safety Officers (RSOs) and NRMP Permittees:

Permit conditions in Naval Radioactive Materials Permits (NRMPs) require permittees to comply with the following requirements:

•	The Radiation Safety Officer or a qualified designee will personally approve all transfers of radioactive material covered by this Permit.  This includes a review of the packaging, labeling, and documentation of each outgoing shipment as well as the receipt process for each incoming shipment.

•	All personnel involved in the receipt, handling, preparation or transfer/shipment of radioactive material shall be trained in accordance with 49 CFR 172 Subpart H.  Documentation of training and testing shall be maintained for three years.

Attached is the exam, which is an enclosure to the NEHC Information Notice, 6470 Ser OM/09488 of 30 April 1997.  Also included is a template that can be used for a training certificate. 

These documents have previously been forwarded to commands, and are being reforwarded for continued use by NRMP Permittees.  The attached examination is still valid until the 1997 NEHC Information Notice is formally superseded.

Very Respectfully,

LCDR Pomije
