  31. New Forms New Training and Experience forms to be used exclusively starting January 1, 2011 RSO: need RHB 313A (RSO) and D&R AMP: need RHB 313A (AMP) ANP: need RHB 313A (ANP) Forms will be made available on the RHB website (we hope) Adopted from NRC 313A Training and Experience Forms Direct all sentiments of appreciation to the NRC

  32. New Forms: still confused…? NUREG – 1556, Volume 9, Revision 2 Appendix D http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1556/v9/r2/

  33. Important Points • All RSOs, AMPs and ANPs listed on a RML prior to January 1, 2011 are grandfathered • All new proposed RSOs are now required to be board certified, be named as an AU/AMP/ANP on a RML, be a certified AMP or complete a structured educational program (200 hours didactic training, 1 year full-time training) • All new proposed AMPs are now required to be board certified or satisfy educational, training and work experience requirements • ALL NEW proposed RSOs, AMPs, and ANPs are now required to submit WRITTEN ATTESTION signed by a qualified preceptor RSO, AMP or ANP, as applicable.
