3.2

Initial Training Program

Facilities should perform a job analysis for the shift supervisor initial training program. The

guidance in this section and in Appendix A provides the basis for establishing the initial training

program. Appendix A contains learning objectives and recommended learning activities to

support the development or revision of training materials for initial training. Additional

facility-specific subjects may be added to the initial training program for shift supervisors, as

deemed appropriate, by management.

The initial training program described in this section and in Appendix A builds upon the training

and experience gained by an on-shift senior nuclear facility operator or senior reactor operator.

Therefore, this training should be conducted following nuclear facility operator or senior reactor

operator training.
