In the event of a structural fire (a building or trailer) involving a nuclear gauge, you should have firefighters...
- A.
Let the fire burn
- B.
Use conventional fire-fighting techniques.
Correct Answer
B. Use conventional fire-fighting techniques.Explanation
In the event of a structural fire involving a nuclear gauge, it is important to use conventional fire-fighting techniques. This means that firefighters should actively work to extinguish the fire rather than letting it burn. The use of conventional fire-fighting techniques can help prevent the fire from spreading and causing further damage or potential harm. It is crucial to address the fire promptly and efficiently to minimize the risks associated with a structural fire involving a nuclear gauge.Rate this question:

Whenever testing compaction, it's a good idea to bring a one-point kit also, even if you believe you'll only be testing materials you already have proctors for.
- A.
True, the contractor could introduce new material to the site -or- the client could want a new area tested.
- B.
False, we're only on-site to test what we suppose we may be testing that day.
Correct Answer
A. True, the contractor could introduce new material to the site -or- the client could want a new area tested.Explanation
The correct answer is True because even if the testing is initially planned for materials that have existing proctors, there is still a possibility that the contractor may introduce new materials to the site or the client may request testing for a new area. Therefore, it is a good idea to bring a one-point kit to be prepared for any unexpected scenarios.Rate this question:

If a nuclear gauge is crushed and destroyed in a work zone by a dump truck while the technicians run to the restroom real quick, who is at fault?
- A.
The dump truck operator, for not spotting the hazard.
- B.
The testing technician, for not treating the gauge as an extension of themselves.
Correct Answer
B. The testing technician, for not treating the gauge as an extension of themselves.Explanation
The correct answer is the testing technician, for not treating the gauge as an extension of themselves. In this scenario, the testing technician is responsible for ensuring the safety of the nuclear gauge, which is a hazardous material. They should have taken necessary precautions to secure the gauge before leaving it unattended. By not treating the gauge as an extension of themselves and failing to properly secure it, they put themselves and others at risk, making them at fault for the incident. The dump truck operator cannot be held responsible as they may not have been aware of the presence of the gauge or the potential hazard it posed.Rate this question:

ALARA is the acronym for As Low As Reasonably Achievable, which is how we should be thinking when reducing our exposure to radioactive sources
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
ALARA stands for As Low As Reasonably Achievable, which means that we should strive to minimize our exposure to radioactive sources as much as possible.
