Would an individual be “grandfathered” if he/she stopped being a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) in 2004?
If an individual is listed as RSO on the licensee’s current license, notwithstanding the fact that he/she is no longer actively working as an RSO, the individual would be “grandfathered” and would not need to comply with the T&E requirements in §35.50. Note that §35.59 would continue to apply, and the T&E would have to have been obtained within seven years preceding the date of the application, or the individual must have had related continuing education and experience. Also note, with regard to an indiivdual’s stopping work as an RSO in 2004, under section 35.14(b)(1), the licensee was required to provide letter notification to NRC within 30 days of an individual’s (permanently) discontinuing performance of RSO duties under the license. However, if an individual is no longer listed on a current license, he/she would not be “grandfathered” and would have to meet the T&E requirements in §35.50, plus the recentness of training requirement in §35.59.
