Welding for nuclear new builds

TNNBNC TIG 01 MMA 01 MMA 03 MMA 04 FSS 03 FCAW 01 TIGFFS TIGSS 01 TIGMMASS 01 MAG 01

This range of practical tests assess a welder on nuclear new build’s ability to prepare, set-up and carry out welding to the required, specific standards on a nuclear site.

There are ten practical tests that cover non-coded welding of low carbon steel and stainless steel pipes and plate joints using TIG, MMA, FCAW and MAG welding techniques to carry out butt welds, fillet welds and cross welds.  The completed welds must pass a visual examination.
