Please Note: These instruments, in their original format, were developed for Westinghouse under contract to the DOE/CAO, and shared through the DOE/CAO technology transfer program. They are available to U.S. businesses, educational institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and individual citizens at no-cost,  and can be used for  commercial, internal, or educational purposes.  TrainersDirect has taken the time to modify the instruments so that all government specific references have been replaced with generic text. All materials are relevant to any organization and will require no re-work on your part. As an example, in instances where the word Westinghouse is used we have replaced it with "Company," or "Organization." TrainersDirect indemnifies the U.S. Government and the contractor for all damages, costs, and expenses, including attorney fees, arising from the utilization of this instrument.
