RCNET ACAD 08-006 Crosswalk: 4.22 Chemistry Technicians - Water Treatment

Program Description:

This material was published by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) as part of a comprehensive crosswalk that links objectives of ACAD 08-006 with GP Strategies ABC Material, NUCP Surveyed Material, NANTeL resources, EPRI resources, web resources, and published material available to all RCNET partners. These accredited utility training programs are based off training and qualification guidelines (ACADs) published by the National Academy for Nuclear Training. 

ACAD 08-006 is the Uniform Curriculum Guide for Nuclear Power Plant Technician, Maintenance, and Nonlicensed Operations Personnel Associate Degree Programs and includes five main curriculum areas: Core Curriculum, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Nonlicensed Operators, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Radiological Protection Technicians, Discipline-Specific for Chemistry Technicians, and Discipline Specific for Maintenance Personnel.

This section of Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Chemistry Technicians (ACAD 08-006 4.22) focuses on explaining and applying the concepts related to water treatment.

Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 4.22 include five PowerPoint presentations and one lesson plan.

This material covers, more specifically: the terms, units, definitions, and basic concepts of the following processes: clarification (coagulation and flocculation), evaporation, filtration, oil separation, reverse osmosis, removal of gases from water (degassing), and removal of organic material from water.

The 14-page lesson plan titled Chemical and Oily Waste Water Systems includes objectives, classroom guidelines, a lesson introduction, an outline, and more. Lesson objectives include:

• Given the appropriate references, the participant will be able to recognize the components, functions and operation of the Chemical and Oily Waste Water Systems.
• Identify the functions of the Chemical and Oily Waste Water Systems.
• Identify the components associated with the Chemical and Oily Waste Water Systems.
• Recognize the operation of the Chemical and Oily Waste Water Systems.

For orientation purposes Chemical_and_Oily_Waste_Water.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.
