KTA’s Nuclear Coatings Inspection Course offers four and one-half consecutive days of interactive, hands-on training for nuclear facility owners, engineers, nuclear coatings inspectors, nuclear inspection supervisors, QA and QC personnel, and coating contractors who work in existing and new facilities. The course provides the essential, nuclear-related instructional elements referenced in the ASME and ASTM standards for the plant certification of Level 1 nuclear coatings inspection personnel. The curriculum addresses strategies for coating use in a nuclear plant; nuclear technology development; health physics; nuclear coatings inspector certification; the history of ANSI, ASME, and ASTM standards that regulate nuclear coatings operations; corrosion control through coatings; nuclear coating systems; surface preparation and cleanliness standards; the inspection of concrete surfaces; coating application; the coating work specification; and methods of preventing and correcting coating failures. Learning outcomes include: - Recognize the radiological, chemical, and thermal exposures of coating materials used in Service Level I, II, and III areas of basic nuclear reactor designs, as well as balance of plant
- Identify the purpose, requirements, and type of coatings used in Service Level I, II, and III
- Recognize the safety-related issues of coatings and the consequences of coating failure on the safe shut-down of a nuclear facility
- Identify current regulations and standards applicable to Quality Assurance/Quality Control, and coatings installation, inspection and repair in both operational nuclear facilities and new power plants
- Utilize inspection instrumentation and document coatings inspections in compliance with applicable ASTM/ANSI standards
- Identify the roles and education/experience requirements for Level 1, 2, and 3 inspector certification
