Mass/volume methodology and tank calibration training

This event has ended.

The training goal is to teach nuclear inspectors the basic of volume mass determination in accountancy vessels and to provide them with a detailed knowledge of the dip tube technique used for tank calibration and verification. The course is mostly targeted at inspectors of bulk handling facilities, where nuclear material can be found in liquid form. The course has a duration of 4 days, where most of the time is spent on practical exercises with real tanks and instrumentation.
