International Technical Support
The D&D Technical Support Group has been conducting Facility Decomissioning training for over 25 years. More than 140 in-depth training courses (ranging in length from 1-2 days to 3 weeks) have been conducted for national and international trainees on the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The courses have focused on various types of contaminated facilities - power reactors, research reactors, hot cells, glovebox facilities, production reactors, waste management facilities, and other non-reactor facilities. To date, over 3100 participants from over 70 countries have participated in these training courses. The training course has been held at various U.S and international locations and at customer sites including facilities in South Korea, Austrailia and Canada.
