TR has a major focus on instrumentation and  control system licensing and engineering support  for current fleet and new reactors in the U.S. and around the world.  Currently lead a team on licensing 8 new reactors in China – for all digital I&C, safety and non-safety systems and full control room – for Invensys. Significant resources are available to support applied tasks support with a strong background in instrumentation and control and human machine interface. TR resources have supported two successful applications to the NRC for digital system approval, for the Invensys Tricon and the Cardinal Health Radiation Monitor. Also, TR instructors have taught at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (6 years) and also the MIT Summer Reactor Safety Course (15 years), as well as on an international basis in China and at the IAEA.
