ANDE Personnel Certification

Description

ANDE is a new certification program for Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) personnel and quality control (QC) inspectors. ASME NDE (ANDE) Personnel Certification will include features consistent with other ASME Personnel Certification best-practices. Initially ANDE will focus on nuclear in-service inspection and new nuclear construction, but ultimately will expand to include pressure-boundary and structural applications in other industries throughout the U.S. as well as internationally.
