Radiation safety training was held at the Chornobyl NPP industrial site and in Pripyat town from 18 to 22 October. The training is traditionally organised by ChNPP Radiation Safety Shop in close cooperation with US organisations Clean Futures Fund and Technical Resources Group Inc.
The five-day course includes theoretical and practical parts, in particular exercises on radiation reconnaissance at Chornobyl NPP site, as well as in Pripyat and Chornobyl cities.
The delegation consisted of 12 US specialists who are employees of US Department of Energy, US Emergency Service, as well as US (Palo Verde NPP) and UK nuclear power plants.
According to Lucas Hixson, one of the American organizers of the training, the training and the experience obtained by the specialists from Chornobyl specialists is very valuable. The organisers are improving the training process so that participants acquire more and more new knowledge and skills.
