Nuclear Academy - PSA Part 2

Low Power and Shutdown Level 1 PSA, Internal and External Hazards, Level 2 and 3 PSA

The purpose of this course is to give participants an introduction to specific PSA topics such as low power and shutdown PSA, internal hazards, external hazards, Level 2 and Level 3 PSA. The course is tailored to individuals with some experience in PSA (PSA Part 1 or working experience).
