Courses are authored and supervised by ASNT NDT Level III professionals.
The Nebraska inspection market
Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville, operated by Nebraska Public Power District, is pursuing a 20-year subsequent license renewal filed with the NRC in 2026. Nucor Steel Nebraska in Norfolk operates an electric-arc-furnace mill with an associated Vulcraft fabrication division requiring weld and plate inspection, and Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue hosts US Strategic Command headquarters and multiple Air Force wings. Major agricultural processors including Tyson Fresh Meats (Dakota City) and JBS (Grand Island) require pressure-vessel and boiler inspection at scale. Nebraska's classic-NDT industrial base is thinner than most — no aerospace, shipbuilding, or refining — but a real operating nuclear plant, an active steel mill, and large ag-processing operations support an honest, modest technician pipeline.
