Humboldt Nuclear Density Gauges
Nuclear Gauge Safety Certification Courses
Online Class
Humboldt’s Online Narrated Radiation Safety Course covers the same material as our Live Classes. So, if you can’t make a live class, this is the perfect alternative to getting your certificate of training. Humboldt’s Online Radiation Safety Class is accepted for the purpose of certification required for an operator to handle portable moisture density gauges. Those who successfully complete this class and quiz should possess the necessary knowledge of radiation safety and the operation of nuclear gauges. This satisfies the requirements of the USNRC and the Agreement States, for gauges manufactured by Humboldt and other manufacturers of nuclear gauges (portable moisture/density gauges).
Certification Test
This test can be used as a certification that the operator has successfully passed a nuclear gauge safety certification class, which covers the training criteria of NUREG 1556 and the Agreement States. This certification also includes a U.S. DOT HAZMAT refresher course, which meets the requirements of CFR Title 49, Part 172, Sub-Part “H” (includes IATA requirements) and is eligible for use in every State. A certificate of training will be issued to those who successfully pass the test (scoring above 80%), and includes a signature line for the company’s RSO to validate the training and certificate.
Our training class to qualify in radiation safety and operation for users of nuclear portable Moisture Density Gauges. The class satisfies the USNRC and Agreement States’ requirements for gauges manufactured by Humboldt and other manufacturers of nuclear portable Moisture Density Gauges. A certificate of training will be issued to those who successfully complete the class.

Radiation Safety Course
There are no courses currently scheduled.
Hazmat Refresher Training is required at least once every 3 years (see 49CFR 172.704)
This must include function-specific training in the safe transport of portable nuclear gauges. Humboldt courses satisfy this requirement. Hazmat Refresher Training can be taken on either of the Radiation Safety Training or Radiation Safety Officer Training class dates.
Our Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) training class to qualify participants to serve as facility Radiation Safety Officers. This course satisfies USNRC and US Dept. of Transportation Regulations, and is directed toward the individual responsible for the organization’s radiation safety program. Course participants will receive a comprehensive training manual, as well as the recent NRC Guidance Document: Program-Specific Guidance About Portable Gauge Licenses (NUREG-1556, Vol. 1).
