Annual report 1981 concerning the examination and licensing of nuclear power plant shift personnel

In accordance with the extended scope of tasks, the present annual report is considerably more comprehensive than the two preceding reports and differs in the way of being arranged. For example, the 21 tables and pictures are given in a separate appendix. There are also modifications concerning details, as e.g. the bibliography, resulting from a new GRS-guideline for the composition of reports. Tables and pictures, however, are presented as in the two preceding annual reports in order to facilitate direct comparison. As usual up to now, the terms 'shift supervisor' and 'reactor operator' occurring frequently have occasionally be replaced by the abbreviation SL and RO. When studying the reprot it is recommended to first look at the tables and pictures in the appendix. The reader in haste will get a quick survey of the expert training and the practical experience of the candidates as well as on the surrounding field and the results of the examinations. The tables and pictures are discussed and evaluated, followed by summaries and recommendations intended to make the training of the responsible shift personnel of nuclear power plants in the Federal Republic of Germany still more effective and more uniform.
