Background:
The NRC provides funding to the Agreements States for training and the associated travel.
Discussion: Students selected to attend the July 22-26, 2019, Safety Aspects of Industrial Radiography (H-305) course in St. Rose, Louisiana are provided in Enclosure 1. Please provide this notification to each individual from your program that has been accepted to this course.

The pool of eligible attendees for this offering of the H-305 course was based on the high volume of waitlisted applications from the February 2019 offering. As a result, the July 2019 offering is filled solely with waitlisted applicants from the February 2019 offering. Due to class size, a small number of waitlisted applicants from the February 2019 offering were not selected for the July 2019 course. Those waitlisted applicants will be automatically approved for the first available offering in fiscal year 2020.
