Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Form A is for everyone who has taken Course 115 and has the appropriate SLAC computer credentials.
Form B is for people who do non-radiological work in a RCA and do not have training.
Form C is for Tours at SLAC. A Form C dosimeter is requested by the Tour Guide, who will accompany the tour group at all times in SSAs at SLAC, and the dosimeter is returned to Radiation Protection promptly at the conclusion of the tour.
Form V is for individuals without a SLAC ID number, who need to be escorted into RCAs. The dosimeter will be assigned to the escort, and worn by the escorted individual.
