[en] This document presents the status of nuclear energy compared to other energy sources in Slovakia and training of nuclear power plant personnel

[en] A full-scale simulator of a WWER-440 unit with a V-213 type reactor has been operated at the education and training centre of the Nuclear Power Plant Research Institute in Trnava, Czechoslovakia, since 1985. It serves training of the personnel of Czechoslovak nuclear power plants as well as of foreign power plants equipped with V-213 type reactors (GDR, Hungary, Cuba, Poland). Instructors from the corresponding countries were first trained; they not only passed training on the simulator but were also educated and trained for the function ''simulator-training engineer'', qualifying them for leading the training of personnel from their countries. A system for rapid replacement of labels on the signalling and control devices at the consoles of the simulator has been worked out to enable foreign operators to train in conditions approaching the actual conditions in nuclear plants in their countries. On the other hand, the educational and examination system based on a terminal network and used in the theoretical education of Czechoslovak experts could not be applied to the education of foreign personnel, for language reasons in particular. Since January 1989, the training of Czechoslovak personnel has been extended with a system simulating partial technological processes of WWER-440 units, which was brought in operation in cooperation with experts from the nuclear power plant Nord in the GDR.

[en] The establishment of a unified system of nuclear power plant personnel training started in Czechoslovakia in 1979. Basic phases of the development of plant personnel training are described and an evaluation of the existing system presented. The use of a full-scale simulator in training is described and the basic conceptual design features given. The present trends in the field of personnel training are described. (Z.S.) 8 figs

[en] The aim of simulator training is to train personnel for control work observing technical and technological regulations of nuclear power plant operation. Training is implemented in two forms: basic training and recurrent training. The daily regime of the training course is divided into theoretical education, simulator training and evaluation. Simulator training is oriented to the preparation of the workplace, presentation, controlled intermittent work and independent control work. (J.C.)

[en] The article gives an overview of how the needs of the Slovak power sector and nuclear industry with respect to personnel skills and training are addressed and satisfied. The needs are driven by the recent significant legislative changes, continuing modernization of the Bohunice V-2 units, preparation of the Bohunice V-1 units for shutdown, and completion of the Mochovce 3 and 4 units, in connection with the licence holder's recruitment and training of qualified and competent staff. The forms, methods and means used within the theoretical and practical training, including the use of a reactor simulator, are highlighted. (author)

[en] The concept is described in detail of the basic training of operating and maintenance staff of nuclear power plants in Czechoslovakia. Part of practicals is carried out in manufacturing plants and in conventional power plants, part is carried out in the training centre of the Novovoronezh Power Plant. The curriculum, subject scope and objectives of the individual courses for selected personnel are discussed. (M.S.)

[en] The system of personnel training in the ''Bruno Leuschner'' nuclear power plant in Greifswald is described. The principles are shown of training engineers and technicians, foremen, workers and apprentices. Comprehensive care for the nuclear power plant staff is outlined. A 5-stage training programme of engineers and technicians is described. The training centre is located in the area of the Rheinsberg nuclear power plant and currently has a permanent staff of 10.

[en] The system of the preparation of the operating staff for the nuclear power plant in the Slovak Republic is described. The process of the preparation of the operating staff, division of the operation staff of NPP, preparation of the staff in universities or technical universities, using of full-range NPP simulators in preparation of the staff of NPP and basic request on improve the quality of preparation of the staff of NPP are discussed
