Reply from Crystal River 3: We do require such a verification. Our shipping procedure (HPS-NGGC-0002 - Vendor Cask Utilization Procedure - Section 6.0 Precautions and Limitations Step 18) states: " Ensure calibrated tools used to torque the lids have been verified to be within calibration limits prior to the shipment leaving site."
Also, in the same procedure there is a Cask User Sign-Off Sheet for each type of cask that states "Calibrated tools used to torque the lids have been verified to be within calibration limits prior to shipment leaving site."
