NTS SITE TOUR ATTIRE -
As far as recommended attire for the tour, since we will be traveling a great deal, comfortable attire is recommended. The site operates with a very casual dress code from levis and T-shirts or polo-shirts to business casual (suits are definitely discouraged). Footwear should be sturdy, but no boots will be required for the walkdown. No open-toed shoes are permitted. Any additional PPE will be provided at the facility, if needed. The weather should be nice the end of March, but a light jacket may be in order for the early morning hours.
