ANR Group Inc (ANR) in Richland will offer a comprehensive course for people interested in becoming Radiation Control Technicians, or Health Physics Technicians. Taking the course, and subsequently passing the Core Fundamentals Test are the first steps to a career path that ANR believes will be long and rewarding.
The class will start in 21 September 2011, and is geared towards working professionals--but enrollment is open to anyone.
Passing the HPT/RCT Core test is a major career milestone for workers in both the DOE and commercial nuclear world—and it’s a very difficult test with both written and oral components. ANR’s goal is to provide a top-quality educational experience for those wishing to enter this exciting field.

Obama replaces intern program with new hiring programs
By STEPHEN LOSEY Last Updated: December 28, 2010
The Federal Career Intern Program, a popular and controversial hiring authority that managers have used to quickly hire tens of thousands of new workers, will end March 1, according to an executive order signed yesterday by President Obama.
Critics of the intern-hiring program — primarily federal unions — said it grew beyond its original scope and was being abused. Some agencies such as the Border Patrol used it as their primary hiring authority. Unions allege some agencies use FCIP to block veterans from federal jobs, and the Merit Systems Protection Board agreed in a Nov. 2 ruling.

Toxic Soil Shows Rigors of Nuclear Cleanup
By JUSTIN SCHECK - Wall Street Journal
RICHLAND, Wash.—Officials at the federal government's Hanford nuclear cleanup site here met Thursday to discuss the discovery of dangerously radioactive soil, in the latest example of how unexpected challenges have beset nuclear cleanup efforts nationwide.
The contamination discovered last month here in eastern Washington state under a disused research building is so radioactive it could kill on contact, said Don McBride, a radiation expert with the federal contractor cleaning up the building.

Hanford - 2 Million hours worked without day lost to injury
Compiled by Herald staff
Workers for Washington Closure Hanford and its subcontractors have worked 2 million hours without a day lost to injury.
About 1,300 employees are working on the project to clean up Hanford along the Columbia River, including demolishing 486 contaminated buildings and cleaning up 396 soil waste sites and burial grounds. They also operate the Hanford landfill for low-level radioactive waste.
"From improvement in doing elevated work to working around hazardous substances, such as beryllium, we're always looking for ways to make the business of Hanford cleanup safer," said Emily Millikin, Washington Closure safety director, in a statement.

Radioactive rabbit trapped near Richland
By Annette Cary, Herald staff writer
A radioactive rabbit caught at Hanford just north of Richland had Washington State Department of Health workers looking for contaminated droppings Thursday.
Contaminated animals occasionally are found at the nuclear reservation, but more often they are in the center of Hanford, far from town.
The rabbit trapped at the 300 Area caught the Department of Health's attention because it was close enough to the site's boundaries to potentially come in contact with the public -- such as if it had been caught by a dog or if its droppings were deposited in an area open to the public.
