2CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Greetings fellow RRPT’s! The National Registry of Radiation
Protection Technologists (NRRPT) continues to grow and after the
February 2022 exam stands at 5,776 registrants strong. As I enter
in what will be my last year as Chairman I want to say what an
honor and privilege it has been to work with all the Board and Panel
members who work so very hard to represent you and make the
Registry the very best it can be. What an amazing group of people
we have!
This handbook is provided as a tool for members to access
information relevant to your NRRPT membership. In this handbook,
you will find:
• a listing of registered practitioner, supporter and retired members,
• our corporate sponsors,
• award recipients,
• members of the NRRPT organization, and
• the Bylaws.
For membership contact information and to view the membership handbook on-line, please visit our
website at www.NRRPT.org. The membership handbook is a communication tool that can be used to
network; research products and services provided by our corporate sponsors or to just look up an old
friend. I hope that you find this handbook to be a useful tool.
The Registry belongs to you and I would like to challenge each one of you to get involved as much as you
can. Become a mentor to a less experienced technician. Get them interested in taking the exam, share
your experience while helping them develop a plan to prepare for the exam and celebrate with them when
they pass the exam. I would be willing to bet that both you and the technician you mentor will be better for
it. If you have been reading the newsletter you will have seen the extremely long list of RRPTs that have
been RRPTs for at least twenty-five years. That means that many of us are nearing retirement and now
is the time to make sure the next generation of RRPTs are ready to take over.
If you are interested in attending a meeting to see how the business of our Registry is conducted or would
like to become more involved with the Board or Panel, please contact me or another board member.
Everyone is welcome and I really enjoy meeting fellow RRPTs! If you have any questions, comments or
suggestions on how the Registry can better serve the registrants, please feel free to contact me or any
other board member
Warmest Regards,
Rick Rasmussen, CHP, RRPT
NRRPT, Chairman of the Board
3GENERAL INFORMATION
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Registry is to encourage and promote the education and training of Radiation
Protection Technologists and, by doing so, promote and advance the science of Health Physics.
MEMBERSHIP
Registered Practitioners are persons who have satisfied their registration maintenance requirements or
who have not yet come to the conclusion of their first cycle. Practitioners actively support the NRRPT by
paying an annual sustaining fee.

quarterly basis.
Membership Handbook - A publication of the Registry is available to practitioner and supporting members
each year. Members are requested to keep the Executive Secretary informed regarding address
changes.
4REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
The NRRPT Registration Maintenance Program is designed to help assure that Registered Radiation
Protection Technologists (RRPTs) continue to maintain their professional qualification. The program
requires RRPTs to participate in professional development activities after their initial registration, and it
monitors those activities on a periodic basis. Meeting the requirements of the program is mandatory to
maintain active registration. In addition, the RRPT must maintain membership in the Registry for the
entire maintenance cycle.
The Registration Maintenance Program began January 1, 1999 and requires 20 points to be earned in
each five-year cycle. The cycle begins and ends on a calendar year basis, i.e., begins January 1 of the
first year of the cycle and ends December 31 of the last year of the cycle. All points must be earned
within the cycle to which they apply.
For RRPTs registered on or before January 1, 1999, the first cycle will begin on that date. The first cycle
for those registered after January 1, 1999, will begin on January 1 of the year following registration.
If you have comments or questions please contact Mark Bayless, Continuing Education Committee
Chairman at mbayless@lanl.gov.
COLLEGE CREDITS
The American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT) has
evaluated and recommended college credit for 1 of the NRRPT courses. The American Council on
Education, the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher education institutions, seeks to provide
leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues and to influence public policy through
advocacy, research, and program initiatives.
ACE CREDIT connects workplace learning with colleges and universities by helping adults gain access to
academic credit at colleges and universities for formal courses and examinations taken in the workplace
or other settings outside traditional higher education.
For more than 30 years, colleges and universities have trusted ACE CREDIT to provide reliable course
equivalency information to facilitate their decisions to award academic credit. For more information, visit
the ACE CREDIT website http://www.acenet.edu/acecredit.
For more information, contact the Executive Secretary, 401-637-4811 or nrrpt@nrrpt.org.

GRIFFOLYN®: CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS FOR OUTAGE, MAINTENANCE &
CONSTRUCTION PROTECTION
For more than six decades, Reef Industries has been providing a variety of specialty reinforced plastic
laminates to the nuclear industry. These products are ideal for containment during outages, construction,
maintenance and decommissioning projects. Strong, yet flexible, lightweight and easily handled,
Griffolyn® products are highly resistant to tears and have an exceptional outdoor service life.
Griffolyn® can be produced with specialized properties including fire retardancy (NFPA 701) and low
contamination for safety applications around critical materials or work areas. Performance features such
as corrosion inhibition and anti-static properties are also available for sensitive equipment. Products
range in weight, thickness and special composites, and are ideal for:
• Floor covers • Decontamination pads
• Custom box liners • Underslab vapor retarders for critical
• Containment enclosures applications
• Bags • Feed water heaters/rotor covers
• Tubing • Soft-sided packaging for surface contaminated
• Outdoor/Indoor storage objects
• Shipping covers for contaminated equipment • FME barriers
• Secondary containment systems
The advantages of using Griffolyn® containment products for new plant construction and maintenance
projects are vast but the immediate recognized benefit is the reduction in the costs associated with
improving project schedules. Griffolyn® products reduce the volume of radwaste, which in turn lowers
disposal costs.
From assisting in the design of uniquely configured and fabricated products to one of a kind materials
custom built from scratch, Reef Industries’ highly experienced staff can fabricate a product that meets
your exact requirements. Custom printing capabilities are also available to meet any message
requirements. We can custom configure a product with nylon zippers, hook and loop fasteners,
grommets, D-rings, webbing, pipe loops or many other possibilities. Reef Industries can work with exact
dimensions, sketches and/or ideas to custom design and build a product specifically suited for your
needs.
Stock rolls and sizes are available for immediate shipment. If you require dependable, long-lasting, cost-
effective on-site fabrication tape, Reef Industries can supply you with pressure sensitive and/or double-
sided tape. Custom design and fabrication are available in 7-10 days.
