The requirements for candidate acceptance/certification 
at Acuren’s nuclear industry client include the 
following:
1.	For certification to ANSI N 45.2.6 Visual: A 
minimum of three years experience in weld inspection. 
This can include time as an assistant, level I, or level 
II in MT, PT, VT, RT, UT (shear wave – thickness does not 
qualify), or as a welder. This experience has to be 
documented. 
2.	Ability to certify as Level II VT to CLIENT’s 
written practice, including documentation of: 
a.	Documented formal classroom training of 24 hours.
b.	Minimum of 210 documented experience hours in 
visual inspection. (Remember that a visual inspection is 
performed in conjunction with every MT, PT, RT, and UT 
shear wave.) This experience needs to be obtained in a 
1.5 to 9 month period. 
c.	Minimum of 400 total documented NDT experience 
hours.
3.	Ability to certify as Level II PT to CLIENT’s 
written practice, including documentation of:
a.	Documented formal classroom training of 16 hours.
b.	Minimum of 210 documented experience hours in PT. 
This experience needs to be obtained in a 1.5 to 6 month 
period.
c.	Minimum of 400 total documented NDT experience 
hours.
4.	High School Diploma or GED. Employee must be able 
to produce documentation and it must be verifiable. 
CLIENT will contact the issuing institution. 
5.	Ability to pass the nuclear security screening 
process: 
a.	Valid driver’s license.
b.	Original or notarized birth certificate with 
raised seal or valid US passport.
c.	Documentation of all education claimed.
d.	No pending or open litigation. This includes DUI, 
or other reckless driving-type traffic offenses, and any 
pending criminal charges (felony or misdemeanor). Felony 
convictions potentially may disqualify applicants. 
e.	Must not be subject to "extreme financial 
hardship" such as pending IRS recovery of back taxes, 
etc.
f.	Cannot have failed any FFD (Fitness For Duty) 
testing and cannot have been subjected to non-voluntary 
substance abuse treatment. 
g.	Minimum of 5 character references that can be 
contacted during normal working hours. (Ensure that phone 
numbers are current and the person is available – not 
working out of town or out of the country where they 
can’t be reached. Employee should contact all references 
prior to arriving at CLIENT.) These 5 references should 
be capable of generating 5 additional character 
references for the candidate that can be contacted during 
normal working hours. (Again, ensure that these 
references can be reached. Employee should contact these 
additional references prior to arriving at CLIENT.) The 
employee should have several extra references (that have 
already been verified and contacted) available as 
backups.
h.	Complete written work history with no gaps. All 
gaps in employment or education must be verified with 
multiple references that can verify the employee’s 
whereabouts and activities during these gaps. See 
requirements for references in 6.g (above). This history 
must go back to the employee’s last nuclear access or 
their 18th birthday.
i.	Radiation dose history – year-to-date and 
lifetime. Most nuclear plants have administrative limits 
around 2 R for the year. If any candidate currently has 
received a YTD dose in excess of 1 R, we need to notify 
CLIENT in advance for approval. If they are over 2 R YTD, 
they most likely will not be accepted by CLIENT for the 
training. 
6.	We need to put our best personnel forward for 
this customer. The training and knowledge requirements 
are rigorous. The candidates must be capable of learning 
some basic skills:
a.	Good, solid written communication skills for 
generating reports.

work ethic, punctuality, and self starting/motivated.

procedures. (Nuclear Safety/ALARA, Client Procedures, 
Welding/Machining - production work, NDE, Inspection, 
etc.) 
g.	Visual inspection of welds, including use of weld 
gauges and measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, 
etc.)
h.	Basic understanding of welding procedures and AWS 
welding symbols.
i.	Leadership skills are a plus.

with proven track records.
