Atlantis NDT delivers ASNT and ISO 9712 aligned NDT training in Idaho: Level I, Level II and Level III programmes across ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, penetrant, eddy current and visual testing, plus API 510, API 570 and API 653 inspector preparation. Courses are authored and supervised by ASNT NDT Level III professionals.
The Idaho inspection market
Idaho National Laboratory, managed by Battelle Energy Alliance for the US Department of Energy, is the nation's lead nuclear research and reactor-development laboratory, based near Idaho Falls. Micron Technology's Boise campus is undergoing a multibillion-dollar fab expansion as part of the company's 17,000-job national investment in semiconductor manufacturing. Simplot's southeast Idaho phosphate operations (Smoky Canyon, Pocatello) account for roughly 22-25% of US phosphate supply, and the state's #1-in-the-nation potato industry supports large-scale frozen-food processing plants requiring boiler and pressure-vessel inspection. Idaho's industrial base is thinner than most states with a training presence elsewhere on this site, but INL's nuclear-research mission and Micron's fast-growing fab construction support a real, modestly scoped technician pipeline.
