Commercial Grade Dedication (CGD)
FromKinectrics Inc.
This seminar will provide a better understanding of how Commercial Grade Dedication is applied to meet Nuclear Quality Assurance requirements in the procurement of safety-related components. Referencing real world Case Studies, the four CGD item acceptance methods are presented. All participants are able to practice using a CGD Plan template, and upon course completion, receive a copy of the CGD Plan. A tour of Kinectrics’ CGD lab is also included in this session.
