The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) owns and operates a 20 MW nuclear test reactor called the National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR). The NBSR is located on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. The NBSR is a heavy water D2O-cooled and moderated reactor. Maintaining an aging reactor requires the capability to assess and validate the health of system components, such as piping and valves, of materials such as Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel. This procurement is to obtain a custom, on-site training course for 20 NCNR personnel, that will instruct participants on how to use selected equipment to perform non-destructive testing of reactor system components and how to interpret the data for a health assessment of the system. As a result of this training, NCNR personnel shall be capable of performing non-destructive tests on reactor system piping and valves to preemptively address degradation and effectively develop a system maintenance plan.
