James W. Miller Award

was awarded to

Cindy Becker

Cindy Becker has worked in the inspection section of the Florida Radiation Control Program for 19 years. While working for Florida, she has been instrumental in developing a comprehensive training program for employees. Cindy’s work in Florida to assure that radiation control personnel are adequately trained, and that the training of each employee is documented, has been instrumental in protecting the citizens of Florida from unnecessary exposure to radiation.

In 2004 Cindy Becker became Chairperson of the G-55 Training Committee. Under her leadership, the G-55 Committee developed several training modules that can be adapted to the various State programs. The training modules will assist the States in having a more uniform inspection program from State-to-State. These modules will assist State programs that are attempting to become Agreement States, and they will assist Agreement States in acquiring and maintaining adequate training programs that are compatible with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Her work in the G-55 Committee continues to assist the CRCPD in the goal of protecting the general public from unnecessary exposures to radiation by assuring that radiation control staff are well trained.

Cindy Becker’s dedication, professionalism and work ethic are exemplary, and her contributions to the CRCPD and the State of Florida in the area of training are to be praised; therefore, she is recognized as this year’s recipient of the James W. Miller Award.
