Training managers meet at Paks nuclear facility

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)-sponsored meeting for training managers of Soviet-designed reactors was held at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant in early April. Representatives from Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, IAEA, and the United States attended. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a forum in which managers could exchange information on training program activities ongoing in countries where Soviet-designed reactors are currently operating. In addition, the meeting provided an opportunity for training managers to network and make contacts within their professional community.

During the meeting, the training managers made presentations related to their ongoing training activities. Participants from the IAEA and the United States also made presentations about their respective activities in this area. (John Yoder, DOE, 301-903-5650, Don Draper, PNNL, 509-372-4079)
