Summary
Achieving Competency is generally a two-step process: both Education and training is needed, although the weight of these two components may vary. Education is a knowledge-driven process which occurs mainly in accredited academic institutions, whereas training is an application-driven process occuring either on the site of the work, or in specialized training centers. Education aims creating, maintaining and transmitting knowledge - mostly basic and general knowledge, which can be used in many fields. On the other hand, training is mainly oriented to acquire specialised knowledge and skills which are necessary to perform a specific job.
Description
- A systematic approach to training (SAT) is implemented to achieve, maintain, and improve personnel knowledge, skill, and performance to support plant safety and performance goals. For more than 15 years the IAEA has been encouraging NPP operating organizations to implement SAT-based training programmes. In many Member States, SAT-based training is the accepted standard for training of NPP personnel. Appendix IV provides an example of one NPP’s training records and information network and Appendix XVIII describes another NPP’s training programme for newly-hired personnel. Appendix XXV describes China’s national nuclear education initiative. References [11, 12 and 13] are some of the IAEA publications regarding SAT-based training. The bibliography provides a comprehensive listing of IAEA publications related to this topic.
- Continuing training
- Training materials and examinations are current, accurate, and of high quality. Reference [13] provides examples of methods used by some NPP operating organizations to develop high quality, SAT-based training materials. An IAEA TECDOC on the development and use of competency-based tests for nuclear industry personnel has been approved for publication and should be in print in 2006.
- Contractor personnel involved in plant activities and assigned to work independently perform to the same standards as the plant staff and are verified to have the specialized skills and training appropriate to the tasks they perform. Responsibilities are established for oversight of contractor personnel who work independently. Reference [15] provides examples of methods that NPP operating organizations in Member States have used to address this need.
