2024 Training Registration Course Descriptions PDF 2024 Training Schedule Regulatory Training WMG doesn't just offer training courses; we deliver structured regulatory training experiences, curated and presented by seasoned experts. These courses don't just meet but exceed the regulatory training benchmarks set by NRC IE Bulletin 79‐19 and 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H. Accredited? Absolutely! Plus, they come with the added perk of Continuing Education Credits (CEC). But that's not all—WMG goes above and beyond. We customize our curriculum to fit your specific needs, situations, or requirements. Need your existing procedures integrated? We've got it covered. While our home base for routine sessions is in Sarasota, Florida, our courses can hit the road to your facility or regional locations if that suits you better. Because at WMG, it's not just training; it's an experience tailored to you. WMG doesn't just train; we've been doing it for over 35 years, honing the art of turning industry technicians and professionals into masters of their craft. Picture this: seasoned and highly experienced shippers stepping up to the plate, delivering each course with a punch of expertise. But we're not talking bland, one-size-fits-all training. Our courses, whether standard or customized, are the real deal—comprehensive, structured, and ticking all the boxes set by the bigwigs in regulatory authority. It's not just education; it's a WMG experience that packs a training punch! The Problem Back in 1979, the NRC wasn't playing games. They were seriously concerned about the chaos surrounding the shipments of low-level radioactive wastes. So, what did they do? They dropped the IE Bulletin 79-19 bomb, laying down the law for licensees. The mandate? Straightforward: provide training and periodic retraining. What's on the menu? A feast of DOT and NRC regulatory requirements, the lowdown on waste burial license requirements, and a thorough understanding of [the Site’s] operating procedures. ​ But wait, there's more! It's not just the 79-19 in the mix. Enter 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H, adding its own spice to the training stew. It's crystal clear—training and periodic retraining cycles are on a schedule: once every three years for the DOT/NRC crew and every two years for the IATA aficionados. The NRC dropped the mic, and we're here to make sure you're not missing a beat in this regulatory rhythm. The Solutions WMG is your go-to for regulatory training that's not just a session; it's an experience. Crafted and delivered by seasoned pros, our structured courses aren't just ticking boxes; they're smashing expectations. We're talking compliance on steroids—meeting and exceeding the regulatory training requirements laid out in NRC IE Bulletin 79-19 and 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart H. Hold on, there's more! Accreditation? Yep, many of our courses come with the coveted Continuing Education Credits (CEC). We're not just about the standard; we're about the extra mile. WMG's secret sauce? Customization. We tailor our curriculums to fit your training dreams. Need your existing procedures in the mix? Done. And the best part? Our courses aren't confined to a classroom. Whether it's at your facility or some regional hotspot, we bring the training to you. WMG—it's not just training; it's a dynamic, tailored experience that hits all the right notes. Compliant Course Materials WMG's training courses are the gold standard for meeting regulatory requirements. Think NRC Bulletin 79-19, 49 CFR 172.704 for HAZMAT Employees, and IATA Dangerous Good Regulations—our courses have got them covered. But it's not just about checking boxes. These courses are comprehensive, structured, and as flexible as you need them to be. Client-specific requirements? Consider it done. ​ And we don't stop there. We tackle the nitty-gritty, addressing both "general awareness" and "function-specific" requirements as laid out in 49 CFR Part 172.704. At WMG, it's not just about compliance; it's about tailored, top-notch training that goes above and beyond regulatory expectations. Exams and Certifications At WMG, we believe in tangible results. How do we measure that? Simple—course completion and certification hinge on acing the written exam. Nail it, and you're not just a participant; you're a certified pro. Your certificate proudly declares that your training aligns seamlessly with the demanding standards of 49 CFR 172, Subpart H, NRC IE Notice 79-19, and, where it applies, even WMG's cutting-edge computer software. It's not just a piece of paper; it's a testament to your mastery in regulatory training, courtesy of WMG.

Unlock the Potential - Embrace the Future The REACh™ Detector System revolutionizing LLRW Waste Package Characterization - Where Accuracy Meets Efficiency! An Innovative Step The REACh™ System signifies an advancement in the way low-level waste is characterized and classified. By directly measuring gamma dose rates and gamma emitting activity of radionuclides, the REACh™ System can provide rapid and precise characterization results. This is made possible through a fully integrated system involving the REACh™ Detector and the RADMAN™ industry standard radwaste management platform. The detection of hard-to-detect radionuclides (e.g., H-3, C-14, Tc-99, TRUs, etc.) is achieved by utilizing waste stream specific scaling factors from the RADMAN™ database, thus enabling comprehensive characterization and classification in a single straightforward process. *image for conceptual reference only The Challenge Overly conservative results can significantly increase the costs associated with packaging, transporting, and disposing of the waste. Current methods for characterizing low-level radioactive waste rely on rough approximations that often lead to overly conservative results. To reduce cost and determine disposition alternatives, more accurate methods are necessary. The current regulatory guidance for characterizing Dry Active Waste (DAW) is hardly representative and the inaccuracies of this method are compounded by the practice of compositing the swipes over time prior to analysis. This leads to an underestimation of short-lived radionuclides, which are typically found in low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). When dose-to-curie conversion techniques are utilized and hard-to-detect radionuclides are estimated using scaling factors relative to Co-60 or Cs-137, underestimating the short-lived gamma emitters results in an overestimation of the hard-to-detect radionuclides, as well as Co-60 and Cs-137, since the majority of the dose rate is attributable to these two radionuclides. Reliable and efficient real-time radionuclide concentration data is crucial during the processing of nuclear waste at commercial power plants. Our Solution The REACh™ Detector system is the solution that has been developed to provide a fast, accurate In-Situ Characterization as compared to what is currently available. This Solution has been designed to save the user time with instantaneous readings, thus minimizing dose with an ALARA conscious solution, and minimizes potential human errors with the integration of both software and hardware.
