Training is a vital tool for attaining and sustaining the necessary competence of personnel working in nuclear facilities. Effective training and qualification of personnel are essential for achieving high safety and efficiency standards in nuclear facility performance. Training and qualification, when combined, are a fundamental aspect of the integrated management systems of nuclear facilities. These considerations have led to the publication of this comprehensive guide, which consolidates the experience gained worldwide through the systematic approach to training (SAT) for nuclear facility personnel. This publication serves as a foundation for establishing and maintaining the quality and reliability of training and qualification for all primary categories of nuclear facility personnel. SAT has proven its effectiveness in nuclear and other safety-critical industries over decades and is widely recognized as the best international practice in nuclear training.

The publication provides detailed insights into the processes and methodologies employed in SAT-based training. It showcases best practices and offers recommendations from esteemed experts in the field. The guide encompasses a wide range of activities within the SAT-based training methodology, providing examples of its application. It builds upon and supersedes guidance previously provided in an earlier IAEA publication, Nuclear Power Plant Personnel Training and its Evaluation: A Guidebook.

One of the key features of this publication is its demonstration of how SAT-based training serves as an integral component of a nuclear facility management system. It showcases how SAT integrates seamlessly with other processes, contributing to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of nuclear facility operations.

In conclusion, training is a critical component of ensuring the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities. The publication provides a comprehensive guide to SAT-based training, highlighting its effectiveness, best practices, and recommendations from experts in the field. By adopting SAT-based training, nuclear facilities can enhance the competence of their personnel, maintain high safety standards, and optimize their performance.
