Abstract
The Nuclear Process Infrastructure (NPI-1) group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) coordinates with Nuclear Filter Technology, Inc. (NFT) to perform document reviews, visual inspections and component testing of the SAVY-4000 nuclear material storage containers. These source examinations ensure that the containers and associated shielding meet the production specification requirements, and ultimately ensure that the workers who handle the containers are protected from exposure due to loss of containment of stored nuclear materials. This poster will describe the array of document reviews, visual inspections and component tests performed during the receipt examinations.
