Training Course:
Application of the ASME Code to Radioactive Material Transportation Packaging

The goal of the course is to provide guidance for the application of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler & Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code to packaging for the transportation or storage of high-level radioactive materials or fissile materials. The course objective is to facilitate the design, fabrication, examination, and testing of packaging that meets all the applicable ASME Code requirements and all the governing federal requirements and regulations.

The course will provide insight on the DOE/NRC packaging certification process, with examples drawn from real-world applications.

The target audience is DOE and contractor personnel, other agency personnel, and commercial packaging engineering personnel. Those responsible for design, fabrication, or evaluation of Type B or fissile material packaging, as well as preparing or reviewing
the associated safety analysis reports, would also benefit.

Register: This year's training course has been canceled, and is rescheduled for March 23-25, 2010.
