The target of a training program
No matter the methodology applied to develop a training program or the training tools and devices used by the instructors in administering the subject matter, as well as the talent and expertise of the teachers themselves, there is always a great concern among all organizations interested in the safe and efficient operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) about the technical qualification of the operating staff. Since the overall purpose and fundamental objective of the training programs are to provide prospective operators with the technical knowledge and skills, i.e., qualifications, to successfully perform the assigned duties, the question of determining training program effectiveness is of capital importance. At Tecnatom the authors use three different sources of information that provide qualitative data regarding the effectiveness of the training programs for licensed operators: On-the-job performance; Simulator requalification performance; and Worldwide experiences. Data from the first source are collected by a questionnaire, which is annually submitted to the management of each NPP, and an interview with the NPP training department.
