What types of incidents must NGET training prepare employees for?

NGET training specifically focuses on preparing employees for radiological incidents or nuclear accidents. This type of training is crucial because employees working in nuclear facilities must understand the potential risks associated with radiation exposure and nuclear materials. Familiarity with the protocols for responding to such incidents ensures that employees can mitigate hazards effectively, protect themselves and their colleagues, and maintain safety within the facility.

Training typically covers the characteristics of radiation, potential sources of nuclear incidents, emergency response procedures, and personal safety measures. This specialized knowledge is necessary to ensure that employees are capable of recognizing early signs of a radiological incident, responding appropriately, and utilizing protective equipment and measures to minimize exposure.

Preparation for mechanical failures, chemical spills, or electrical outages, while important in their respective contexts, falls outside the scope of NGET training, which is tailored specifically to nuclear safety and radiological risk management.
