A systematic approach to the training in the nuclear power industry: The need for standard
- Atomic Energy Control Board, Ottawa (Canada)
The five elements of a {open_quotes}Systematic Approach to Training{close_quotes} (SAT) are analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. These elements are also present in the effective application of basic process control. The fundamental negative feedback process control loop is therefore an excellent model for a successful, systematic approach to training in the nuclear power industry. Just as standards are required in today`s manufacturing and service industries, eg ISO 9000, so too are control standards needed in the training industry and in particular in the training of nuclear power plant staff. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) produced its TECDOC 525 on {open_quotes}Training to Establish and Maintain the Qualification and Competence of Nuclear Power Plant Operations Personnel{close_quotes} in 1989 and the American Nuclear Society published its {open_quotes}Selection, Qualification, and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants, an American National Standard{close_quotes} in 1993. It is important that community colleges, training vendors and organizations such as the Instrument Society of America (ISA), who may be supplying basic or prerequisite training to the nuclear power industry, become aware of these and other standards relating to training in the nuclear power industry.
