The Radiation Protection Technologists’ tasks are accomplished by providing supervisory, administrative, and/or physical controls, utilizing sound health physics principles in compliance with local and statutory requirements and accepted industry practices.  \nThe Radiation Protection Technologist mitigates hazards associated with radioactive materials and ionizing radiation producing devices, always adhering to the “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” philosophy.  \n(Rev. 4/09)  \nAN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO CANDIDATES  \nThis guide will help you prepare for the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT) examination. The guide, however will not be the key to a good grade on the examination. Successful candidates generally prepare for months prior to the test. They cover the fundamental and applied aspects of radiation protection through the use of textbooks and by joining study groups. The Board cautions against approaching the exam in a casual fashion.  \nWe believe that all applicants declared eligible to take the examination, after careful review of credentials, have a good probability of passing. You can avoid the disappointment of poor performance by recognizing at the start that the exam will be an all encompassing, rigorous test of radiation protection knowledge. Your performance will, for the most part, depend on the thoroughness of your preparation.  \nNow that you are aware of the key to good performance on the examination, we wish you success in achieving Registration.  \n(Rev. 4/09)  \nCONTENTS OF THE NRRPT EXAMINATION  \nThe examination consists of 150 multiple choice questions from three general categories: Applied Radiation Protection, Detection and Measurement, and Fundamentals. Four hours are allowed for the exam. Past examinations are not released. Typical questions are included in this guide, however the candidate needs to be aware that these questions do not represent a typical mix of questions on an actual exam.  \nWe believe that it is advantageous to develop a plan for preparation and to approach the exam inan organized manner. Some suggestions for taking the exam are listed below.  \n1. Budget your time so that you are answering approximately 40 questions/hour.  \n2. Start at the beginning of the exam and work through it in sequential order, answering questions you are sure of. Save the difficult ones for the end, making sure you don’t get your answers out of sequence on the answer sheet.  \n3. Read each question and each answer carefully.  \n4. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so make sure you answer every question.  \nFurther information about the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists Examination can be obtained from:  \nNRRPT  \nP.O.
