Jusselin, M

Electricite de France (EdF) is now operating thirty-two 900-MW and nine 1300-MW pressurized water reactor (PWR) units and a 1500-MW surgenerator; two 900-MW and ten 1300-MW PWR units are under construction. The number of persons employed to run these plants is at present 24000. A very important training program provided initial knowledge, specific training, and retraining in order to ensure nuclear safety. The following list includes those features required in the most viable and efficient training program: first contacts for familiarization with company and safety training (including radiation protection in nuclear plants); industrial adaptation, depending on the specialty; training for the function performed; skill maintenance and refresher courses in the function; and preparatory or promotion courses when performing a new function.
