Our services include requalification training for licensed and non-licensed operators. Training is compliant with both federal regulations and accreditation standards. This service includes:
Maintenance of a complete task-to-training matrix that is linked to both the active procedure set for all programs and the knowledge and abilities catalog for initial licensed operator training
An optimal mix of classroom, full scope simulator, virtual in-plant, and self-paced learning sessions developed in compliance with the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process
Ongoing training committee meetings to ensure training programs are adapted to incumbent needs
Authoring and facilitation of incumbent and regulatory reviews and regulatory exams administration
We also maintain operator training simulators to ensure they are performing optimally. This support includes:
Updating simulator modeling and controls as plant modifications are performed
Updating simulator core modeling for new or refueled cores
Ongoing technical support for both hardware and software updates
Automated testing suites that ensure simulator operation matches actual plant performance data
The NuScale design allows for a large portion of technical training materials to be shared across multiple sites. This results in a lower cost for maintenance, accreditation, and delivery. Specific benefits include:
Shared training staff across multiple standard design facilities
Consistency between training programs across multiple sites
Substantially reduced accreditation costs with a NuScale Plant Services Accredited Training organization
High degree of integration between the simulator, operating procedures, and training tasks
Rapid and consistent dissemination of lessons learned between NuScale facilities
Fewer specialists needed at each simulator facility
Consistency between plant simulators supports operator training at any facility
On-call support team for emergencies
Flexible deployment of additional simulators to support short-term training needs
