Overview
What you will study
Participants learn the latest regulatory requirements for nuclear air cleaning, develop an understanding of filtration theory, and gain the experience they need to maintain air purity with a comprehensive filter system.
The In-Place Filter Testing Workshop offered by Harvard University offers knowledge and essential training that will provide you with the experience and knowledge you need to meet the daily challenges of working with nuclear technology.
In addition to ventilation, the program also includes wide-ranging nuclear and non-nuclear topics relevant to biotechnology, clean rooms, health care, the military and commercial utilities.
Learning Objectives:
- Test and certify high-efficiency particulate air-filtration and gas-adsorption systems for nuclear and non-nuclear applications
- Verify airflow in ventilation and air-cleaning systems
- Demonstrate an understanding of regulations issued by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the United States Department of Energy pertaining to air- and gas-cleaning activities
- Operate testing equipment unique to air-cleaning, gas-cleaning, and ventilation systems
- Discuss how U.S. standards and regulations have become the international standard of excellence, as well as the relationship between the U.S. standards and the safety guides of the International Atomic Energy Agency
- Explore the implementation of U.S. standards, guides, and codes in other countries
