What is the Final Cooperative Agreement Report including Pilot Study?
In October 1999, a final report on the cooperative agreement, including the results of a pilot study was published. The report provides a summary of the activities conducted since September, 1986, under cooperative agreements between the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance and the U.S. Department of Energy. These activities include the development of the Level VI (Enhanced North American Standard) inspection procedures and North American Standard Out-of-Service criteria for inspecting drivers, equipment and cargo involved in the transportation of radioactive materials. The activities also include conducting a pilot study to evaluate the soundness of the procedures, develop training curricula, conduct training, perform inspections, develop an outreach program, and generate evaluations to support recommendations. Copies of this report are available from the CVSA headquarters in Washington DC (202) 775-1623.
