New World screwworm officially crosses border into . . . Maryland?
Ranchers in Texas, alongside the U.S. Department of Agriculture, have been bracing for the return of the New World screwworm (NWS), a parasitic fly that lays its eggs in the wounds of warm-blooded animals and, once newly hatched, eats living flesh.
Workshop
Thursday, April 13, 2023|8:30–11:30AM EDT|Sequoyah 3
This event is sponsored by Paschal Solutions Inc.
This workshop will acquaint students with some of the vital safety functions in nonreactor nuclear facilities, including criticality safety and radiological safety. Attendees will be introduced to the use of standards and regulatory guidance as they pertain to both DOE and NRC-licensed facilities. Other topics include, but may not be limited to, normal and credible abnormal conditions, process hazard analysis, and development of safety basis.
A hypothetical nuclear material handling scenario will be provided to students, and the topics mentioned previously will be applied to that scenario. The workshop will use this exercise to demonstrate how different groups within the same organization apply their varying focuses to achieve a common goal of facility, operator, and environmental safety.
Location: Sequoyah 3
Cost: $0
Attendees: 40
