Ensuring safety at nuclear plants by integrating an analytical simulator into the process of training for young specialists

Prospective large-scale nuclear power should have guaranteed safety, economic sustainability and competitiveness, no limitations on the raw material base for a long period of time, and environmental sustainability (low-waste). These conditions are met by nuclear power systems with fast neutron reactors with liquid metal coolant. Compliance with high safety standards is an indispensable condition for large-scale development of nuclear power in the XXI century. The article formulates requirements and peculiarities of specialists training for the nuclear industry, emphasizes the importance of operational training of specialists for implementation of plans for construction of new NPP power units, including those with fast neutron reactors. Possibilities of methodology application for NPP operational personnel training on analytical and full-scale power unit simulators for training of young specialists and students of profile specialties of core universities of Rosenergoatom Concern for the purpose of acquisition and improvement of qualities necessary for work, acquisition of knowledge necessary for labor activity and reduction of training terms for new positions are considered.
