Explore WMG's expertise in shielding analysis, utilizing industry-standard programs from simple photon shielding to complex Monte Carlo Neutron-Particle Transport codes (MCNP). With decades of experience, we're equipped to choose the right analysis tool for any shielding scenario, ensuring accurate and effective radiation protection solutions for your projects. Trust WMG for expert guidance and precision in shielding analysis. Shielding Analysis We have experience using all of the industry standard analysis programs from simple Point-Kernel photon shielding programs to the most complex Monte Carlo Neutron-Particle Transport codes (MCNP). More importantly, we have the experience to know which shielding analysis tool is appropriate for any shielding analysis. Design Calculations and Evaluations WMG performs calculations on planned or existing shielding as well as evaluations and provides shielding recommendations. This service can be performed for evaluations of site boundaries as well as general area dose rate estimates for specific projects. Integrated Evaluations In most cases, a stand-alone shielding evaluation is not sufficient to support a project. We offer our world class shielding analysis capabilities to cover a wide range of services including packaging evaluations and dose-to-activity modeling (such as dose-to-Curie or dose-to-Becquerels). Our extensive experience with various geometries, sources, and shielding analysis codes gives us the confidence to offer integrated project evaluations.

< Back NUREG BR-0204, Revision 3 Update Oct 5, 2020 WMG Update Notification and Timeline of the NUREG BR-0204, Revision 3 Implementation On June 30, 2020, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published NUREG/BR-0204 Revision 3 titled Instructions for Completing the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest . On July 2 they made notice of this publication in the Federal Register , stating that, “Revision 3 and its forms became effective on July 2, 2020. Use of the NUREG/BR0204, Revision 2 forms should be discontinued on or before September 30, 2020.” This release caught many stakeholders by surprise, some of whom had been commenting and working with the NRC on the development of the revision. Of particular concern was the relatively short 3-month suggested implementation period. Multiple utilities requested the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to ask the NRC to delay the implementation of Rev 3 of the 540/541 forms beyond the 9/30 date. On September 14, 2020, the NRC held a Webinar titled Implementation Status of NUREG/BR-0204, Revision 3, and Associated NRC Forms . Based on discussions and input from stakeholders, the NRC agreed to publish a notice in the Federal Register soon after evaluating an extension to the implementation date. Stakeholders and the NEI suggested a date of 3/31/2021. For the near future, the NRC has indicated that they would be willing to “exercise enforcement discretion” so that no one would be cited for using Revision 2 beyond the 9/30 date. The preface of NUREG/BR-0204 Revision 3 states that the changes from Revision 2 include: Updated instructions to reflect changes to the Uniform Manifest Forms. Updated references to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations to reflect the current DOT regulations. Additional discussion on the reporting of inventories based on lower limit of detection values, the potential use of indirect methods to determine these inventories, and the use of indirect methods in waste classification calculations. Clarification of the intent of the certification statement on Form 540. Overall improvements to the clarity of the document. As with many things nuclear power related, “the devil is in the details”. Changes to the forms include page size, layout, the title of numerous columns, and minor formatting changes. The methods for annotating that a nuclides inventory is based on a lower limit of detection (LLD) value has changed, including the addition of a # symbol to indicate if that value was determined by “the use of indirect methods”. The revised certification statement will now consist of a statement based on the DOT’s certification statement required by 49 CFR 172.204 and statements based on the NRC’s certification statement required in 10 CFR 20, Appendix G, Section II. On September 30th, the last day of the original “grace period”, NRC published an update in the Federal Register stating, “Use of NUREG/ BR–0204, Revision 3 has been delayed. Until further notice, licensees should continue to use NUREG/BR–0204, Revision 2 and the versions of NRC Forms 540, 541 and 542 that were renewed in January 2020, or equivalent, as defined in NRC’s regulations.” WMG is working on inclusion of compliant NRC 540/540A and 541/541A forms in the RADMAN™ suite. We will likely be “holding” that software release, Version 9.5, pending further guidance from the NRC about an updated implementation date. Until then, we are working on a revision to the RADMAN™ software (version 9.4.2), targeted for release by the end of October, that will have the updated 2020 Emergency Response Guides in addition to the January 2020 Uniform Waste Manifest.

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.

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.

< Back RADMAN™ Suite 9.5.2 Release May 14, 2021 The newest release of RADMAN™ Suite is now available. WMG is pleased to announce the release of RADMAN™ Suite 9.5.2. This is an update to the RADMAN™ 9.5 suite that addresses 23 user-submitted & WMG-generated software changes as well as the regulatory changes to NUREG/BR-0204 Revision 3. The major enhancements include updated Waste Manifests and Shipping Papers. The new release also addresses the issues identified in the error notification dated March 2, 2021. This update corrects the error which reported child package activity totals on the Waste Manifest Form 541/541ain Curies (Ci) instead of millicurie (mCi). RADMAN™ 9.5.2 also corrects an error which prevented users from characterizing packages via Direct Sample when the sample used millicurie (mCi) as the activity unit. The distribution of this release of RADMAN™ is in the form of a Disk Image in either .ISO or .ZIP format and can be downloaded from the WMG Software Users Area website. As with recent RADMAN™ releases, a full installation package, including software and Q/A related documentation is available, as well as a V&V release which allows multiple versions of RADMAN™ to be installed on the same workstation. This V&V release does not include software documentation and is intended to be used for testing and validation of RADMAN™ releases. No previous RADMAN™ versions are required prior to installing the software included with this release. Previous Next
