Abstract

The training process and training programs in both commercial nuclear plants and Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities have improved significantly in the years following the Three-Mile Island (TMI) accident. This article describes some of these changes, including the reasons behind the change, the affected population, the training accreditation process and performance-based training, and the benefits of the changes.
