Outcomes (1) • The effectiveness of the training program for non-nuclear specialists was assessed using the Course evaluation form replies of the trainees (19) and observers (9). • The interest from the side of different professionals is an important indicator about the necessity to care such courses for non-nuclear professionals. BgNS International Conference ”Nuclear Power for the People”, 18-21 September 2013, Sunny Beach, Bulgaria
Outcomes (2) • Many non-nuclear jobs require a specialized training on nuclear. The developed Training program contains necessary courses and could provide knowledge and skills for the non-nuclear professionals and subcontractors.
