Title: Development and application of a proficiency evaluation methodology for the nuclear power industry

Abstract

Recent changes in the electric power industry have increased the need to improve performance, shorten plant outages, reduce unnecessary rework, and improve maintenance. Over the last 10 yr, organizations such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission have reviewed many factors that can lead to operations and reliability improvements. One of the areas that has received a significant amount of attention has been training. Almost all nuclear utilities have training facilities accredited by INPO. A number of utilities have centralized their training activities for all facets of their organization.
