Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Reactor operating procedures and regulatory requirements — apply routinely with reduced oversight to maintain safe and compliant plant operations on assigned shift.
  • Control rod adjustments and power flow rate settings — execute independently following standard procedures to achieve directed reactor period and coolant temperature targets.
  • Lockout, tagout, and equipment clearance documentation — develop and implement with minimal supervision to enable safe maintenance activities in an operating plant.
  • System and unit abnormalities — diagnose common causes using plant procedures and take initial corrective action within established operator authority limits.
  • Multi-system plant monitoring — perform continuous surveillance of gauges, alarms, and control panels to assess generator loading effects across familiar operational scenarios.
  • Boiler and turbine operations — monitor and adjust auxiliary equipment parameters to support stable plant output during routine and expected transient conditions.
  • Surveillance test conduct and results logging — carry out scheduled tests and accurately enter data into plant database systems with periodic supervisor review.
  • Normal start-up and controlled shutdown sequences — implement established operational procedures reliably within required time frames on a licensed reactor unit.
  • Shift communication and operating logs — prepare clear written entries and relay accurate status information to relief operators and supervisors at shift turnover.
  • Quality control data analysis — apply basic analytical skills to compare operating parameters against acceptance criteria using spreadsheet and business intelligence software.
