EMERSONWestinghouse E 20 Training From Normal Operation to Se lectric Belgium 14 Catalog vere Accident Management

THE 2014 WESTINGHOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM 1

 TRAINING SCOPE 

In addition to our engineering and site-service 

activities, Westinghouse Electric Belgium 

provides training services to customers in the 

nuclear industry. 

Starting from basic courses describing the 

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), the training 

scope extends to the plant operation field and 

Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP’s). 

Another area of expertise is represented by the 

training courses on core damage mitigation and 

severe accident management. 

The courses contained in the 2014 training 

catalog are arranged in five categories: 

 Operation and Accident Related Courses 

 Maintenance Courses 

 Engineering Courses 

 Accident-Based Seminars 

 AP1000 

Particular effort is made to eliminate 

redundancies and repetition between courses, 

thus avoiding loss of time for attendees 

participating in several courses. 

 TEACHING MATERIAL 

The materials used to prepare and teach the 

courses are based on regularly updated 

Westinghouse documents issued by the 

Westinghouse Training Organization. 

During preparation of the courses, the 

instructors have free access to any information 

available in the Belgian Engineering Department 

or in the US, which assures the high quality of 

the technical content of our courses. 

The teaching material includes PowerPoint 

presentations but also the equipment mock-ups 

located at the Field Services, and computer 

software available in the Engineering 

Department, when needed. 

 COURSE TEACHERS 

The instructors used by the Belgian Training 

Organization are drawn mostly from our Belgian 

Engineering Department, from the staff of 

engineers of the Field Services, or are from the 

US training organization. All have demonstrated 

instructional skills and practice. Their technical 

knowledge is based on years of experience in 

engineering and/or on-site jobs, as well as on 

specific instructional training courses. 

The excellent feedback received from attendees 

attests the high level our instructors have attained

 GENERAL COURSE ORGANIZATION 

Our generic courses are provided on a yearly 

basis, in English, and are open to all. 

All courses are given in our Nivelles offices, in 

Belgium. 

Most of courses run for 6 hours a day, starting at 

9:00 am. 

In addition to our generic courses we also 

provide plant specific courses, on site, according 

to customer request or needs. This allows the 

customer to enroll a large number of attendees 

in the classroom which results in a price-perattendee reduction. In addition, the Belgian 

Training Organization has a multi-language 

capability which is to the benefit of attendees 

who are not totally fluent in English.

catalog. You may use these now or later in 2014
