As a nuclear weapons management site, the Pantex plant in Amarillo, TX, has been relatively unaffected by the global economic downturn. The nuclear weapons industry is highly regulated and much site training revolves around mandatory safety and compliance. Over the past two years, the entire technical training program has undergone extensive review and modification to increase efficiency. The technical training team is guided by its no-nonsense mission: quality training that is necessary, precise, timely, and behavior- or ability changing. The plant's new "First Line Management Development" courses teach soft skills as well as HR policies, supervision, and discipline through a hybrid delivery approach that combines instructor-led training with video presentations and role plays.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nuclear power presents an inherent risk to public health and safety, yet there is no requirement that licensed professional engineers oversee the engineering design, operations, or maintenance of nuclear energy facilities. The National Society of Professional Engineers believes that requiring licensed professional engineers to have direct supervision over all engineering design, operation, and maintenance decisions at nuclear power plants would help mitigate the unavoidable risk associated with nuclear power.
Though the nuclear energy industry has an excellent safety record, thanks in part to strict regulation, comprehensive safety planning, and rigorous training and qualification standards for employees, the fact remains that a...

The Department of Energy (DOE or Department) proposes to revise the regulation governing the standards for medical, physical performance, training, and access authorizations for protective force (PF) personnel employed by contractors providing security services to the Department. The existing version of this regulation was promulgated in 1993 and substantial portions of the regulation date to the mid- 1980s. Since 1993 DOE policy has placed greater reliance upon technology, vehicular response, and increased firepower and, correspondingly, has reduced its reliance upon the ability of PF personnel to perform the running tasks required in the current regulation. Furthermore, this shift in emphasis has placed a greater premium upon the retention of mature, tactically experienced, and techni...
