Operator training in Sweden

Swedish nuclear power plant personnel are trained locally at the plants and at a simulator center. The local on-site training includes classroom systems and theory as well as on-the-job training. Compact simulators are used to demonstrate and reinforce understanding of basic principles such as fluid flow, heat transfer, thermodynamics and reactor operation. Additional training is conducted at the Studsvik simulator training center for control room personnel. It consists of initial qualifications and annual retraining. 1 fig
