Authorized Nuclear Device Operators are individuals who are ___ to use and operate the nuclear device as defined under PNRI Regulations.

• A. inducted, trained and qualified
• B. licensed to perform any blasting task
• C. employed by the Bureau as a foreman
• D. contractors approved by PNRI

Answer: (A)

The requirement being tested is that Authorized Nuclear Device Operators are inducted, trained and qualified to use and operate the nuclear device as defined under PNRI Regulations. This means they have gone through a formal process: first an induction to understand the device, site procedures, hazards, and regulatory expectations; then comprehensive training on how to operate the device safely, including control systems, safety interlocks, radiological protection, emergency procedures, and proper reporting; and finally a qualification showing they can competently perform the tasks to PNRI standards. This combination ensures that the operator is not only knowledgeable but also demonstrably competent to handle the device safely, with ongoing assessments to maintain competence. The other options describe more general roles or eligibility criteria that do not specifically authorize someone to operate a nuclear device under PNRI rules.
