EB 16-11: Training Cumulative Impact Strategies

This bulletin will result in greater efficiency by reducing low-value administrative measures related to training programs.

Over the years, efforts to enhance training at nuclear power plants have led to a growing number of administrative steps, some of which have been found to add little or no value. These unnecessary steps increase the number of hours that must be spent on training-related matters without adding commensurate training value in terms of knowledge transfer. Given the nuclear industry’s strong emphasis on training, these administrative tasks consume many hours over the course of a year. Reducing administrative burden will minimize distractions related to training, enhance the value-added, and free instructor and employee time for more productive activities.

Target implementation date: July 2016.
