* New date to be determined: rescheduled from September 11-22 -- Kozloduy NPP, Bulgaria
Training. Specialists from VNIIAES and Sonalysts, Inc., will work with training and technical specialists from Kozloduy NPP to complete plans and instructional materials for a training program for emergency operating instruction trainers at the plant. During the second week, the specialists will implement the course for trainers at Kozloduy Units 1 through 4 (all VVER-440/230 reactors). (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650; Don Draper, PNNL, 509-372-4079)

* New date to be determined: rescheduled from September 11-22 -- Kyiv, Ukraine
Training. Work will begin on a project to transfer a pilot training program for control room turbine operators to Rivne, South Ukraine, and Zaporizhzhya NPPs. Specialists from the Khmelnytskyy plant, the Engineering and Technical Center for the Training of Nuclear Industry Personnel, and Sonalysts, Inc., will provide technical assistance. (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650; Don Draper, PNNL, 509-372-4079)

* October 16-21 -- Kyiv, Ukraine
Training. Ukraine's Engineering and Technical Center for the Training of Nuclear Industry Personnel hosted a workshop for simulator instructors from Khmelnytskyy, Rivne, South Ukraine, and Zaporizhzhya NPPs. Specialists from the Engineering and Technical Center collaborated with U.S. training specialists from Sonalysts, Inc., and Human Performance Analysis Corporation to begin developing training materials for simulator instructors responsible for training nuclear power plant personnel in Ukraine on the use of emergency operating instructions. (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650; Al Ankrum, PNNL, 509-372-4095)

* October 16-27 -- Armenia NPP, Armenia
Training. Training specialists will finalize and implement a plant-specific training program for control room turbine operators at Armenia NPP. Program trainees will include plant personnel familiar with the job position. Observers from the International Atomic Energy Agency (joint sponsor of this training program) and Human Performance Analysis Corporation will evaluate the implementation activities and provide feedback to the training program developers. (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650; Don Draper, PNNL, 509-372-4079)

* October 30-November 6 -- Kozloduy NPP, Bulgaria
Training. A U.S. training specialist from Human Performance Analysis Corporation will present the management and supervisory skills training program to Kozloduy management personnel. The course, implemented previously at the plant, since has been expanded at the request of Kozloduy management and training personnel to include additional materials on leadership. The U.S. team member also will review modifications to the safety culture course being made by Kozloduy NPP personnel with the intent to implement the modified course later in 2000. (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650; Don Draper, PNNL, 509-372-4079)

* November 6-9 -- Kyiv, Ukraine
Engineering and Technology. Specialists from Brookhaven and Pacific Northwest national laboratories will meet at Energoproekt offices with members of the Ukrainian team involved in the Zaporizhzhya safe-shutdown study. U.S. team members will provide technical support and review progress on the deterministic analysis portion of the study. (Grigory Trosman, DOE, 301-903-3581; Andy Minister, PNNL, 509-376-4938)

* December 11-15 -- Moscow, Russia
Management and Operational Safety. VNIIAES will host a second workshop focused on the normative document for simulator standards and training in Russia. Representatives of VNIIAES/General Energy Technologies, Rosenergoatom, Gosatomnadzor, the Novovoronezh Training Center, and Balakovo, Kursk, and Novovoronezh NPPs are expected to participate. A U.S. team member from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory also will attend. Participants plan to finalize a draft of the document during the workshop, then submit it to Gosatomnadzor for consideration. Gosatomnadzor approval is targeted for early 2001.
