5.2.5 Simulator Training

A simulator is an apparatus that generates conditions approximating

actual or operational conditions. The most widely recognized

simulators are those used in the aircraft and the commercial nuclear

power industries. Simulators can be either full-scope or part-task.

Full-scope simulators are usually large-scale replications, which

create a training environment with a high degree of physical and

functional fidelity relative to the actual or "referenced" job. A part-task

simulator incorporates detailed modeling of a limited number of

components or subsystems and demonstrate expected response.

Part-task simulators also add realism to training. Simulator training

can be highly effective for normal facility operation, anticipated

transients, and accident conditions. Because the simulator reflects

actual job conditions, OJT may be completed on the simulator in many

cases. In addition, this setting lends itself to effective team training.

Elements of Implementation

Elements of implementation include:

Training is implemented in accordance with current, approved training

materials and procedures.

Training activities encourage direct trainee participation in the learning

process.

Instructors use instructional techniques that are appropriate to training

content and objectives.

Trainee mastery of learning objectives is evaluated using performance

examinations (OJT, performance demonstrations, and operational

evaluations), written or oral examinations, quizzes, role-play, case

studies, and/or group exercises.
