SCOPE

1.1 Purpose. The Guidelines for Evaluation of Nuclear Facility Training Programs

establish objectives and criteria for evaluating nuclear facility training programs. The

guidance in this standard provides a framework for the systematic evaluation of training

programs at nuclear facilities and is based, in part, on established criteria for Technical Safety

Appraisals, Tiger Team Assessments, commercial nuclear industry evaluations, and the DOE

Training Accreditation Program.

1.2 Applicability. This standard applies to organizations or persons involved in

evaluating training methods, materials, and programs at DOE nuclear facilities. DOE nuclear

facilities include Category A reactor facilities, Category B reactor facilities, and non-reactor

nuclear facilities. The focus of the standard is evaluations that are conducted by DOE field

organizations (Operations Office, Area Office, or Project Office as appropriate). It should also

be used by others who conduct reviews of training, both internal and external to the

Department.

Training programs will vary according to the complexity and hazard potential of a particular

nuclear facility. Consequently, certain criterion may not be applicable to low-hazard facilities;

hence, a degree of flexibility must be used when applying the criterion. When a criterion is

not applicable, it need not be considered.

While this standard assumes specific methods of evaluation, alternate methods that are

consistent with overall organizational needs, policies, and resources are acceptable.
