1.4.2 Verification

This technique allows training program products to be determined

based on work at other facilities on the same or similar tasks or topics.

This process can save significant effort and cost. Communication

with, or benchmarking visits to, both government and private facilities

will enable facilities to take advantage of existing experience and

materials. Industry analyses that can be adapted to DOE nuclear

facility positions are available for many of the reactor operator, reactor

supervisor, maintenance, and technician positions. Use of these lists

require the help of SMEs and a trained facilitator. These experts use

the lists to decide which tasks apply and to identify the tasks that

require modification to reflect job requirements. Other sources of

information and industry guidelines that may identify job-related

training requirements include guides to good practices, DOE technical

standards, other DOE facilities, commercial nuclear utilities, and

vocational programs.

The verification technique consists of the following steps:

Gathering relevant existing training materials and task

information from local and external sources.

Comparing this information to the facility-specific needs.

Modifying the information as needed.

Verifying the accuracy of the information by SMEs.

1.4.3 Document Analysis

This technique is especially valuable when accurate procedures and

other job-related documents are available. Document analysis is a

simplified technique for determining required knowledge and skills

directly from operating procedures, administrative procedures, and

other job-related documents. An SME and a trainer review each

section and step of the procedure or document to determine training

program content.

Document analysis consists of the following steps:

Review the procedure or document and list the knowledge and
