Why Choose this Training Course

This nuclear safety training provides a comprehensive understanding of safety in the nuclear industry from engineering, management, operational, regulatory and theoretical perspectives. It makes extensive use of real-life nuclear and high hazard industry case studies, and links the various stages in safety analysis with the requirements of the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR).

This comprehensive nuclear safety training program delves into the fundamental principles of nuclear safety, encompassing the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities. Participants will gain a deep understanding of nuclear fuel cycles and reactor operations, alongside identifying and mitigating industry hazards. The curriculum emphasizes key factors influencing nuclear safety, outlining requirements from conceptual design through operation, maintenance, and modification. Crucially, it highlights the paramount importance of safety culture, the consequences of its absence, and the role of interdependency and organizational competence in maintaining overall nuclear safety. Furthermore, the program stresses the critical need to understand the safety case as a decision-making basis, alongside the significance of authority, accountability, compliance metrics, and the prevailing regulatory environment.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.
