This course was developed for the Office of Nuclear Safety Policy and Standards (DOE-HQ/EH-63) to provide interpretation of DOE Order 5480.21 and the corresponding NE-70 Interpretive Guidance document. By using interactive written case studies, the student develops competencies in conducting normal USQ safety evaluations, and determinations of potentially inadequate safety analyses. The historical background of the USQ process is discussed, as well as specific terminology and specific mechanics of various USQ safety evaluation processes. A 30 question written exam is administered upon completion of the training course.
