The Nuclear Technology Training Center of the TUV Nord Group

The Nuclear Technology Training Center of the TUV Nord Group is used to optimize the organization's training of staff in its nuclear fields. This is to ensure that know-how will be preserved despite the phasing-out of nuclear activities in the Federal Republic of Germany and an imminent change of generations among expert consultants. There will be a continuing need for well trained experts because decommissioning work and the residual plant life periods as calculated from electricity quotas clearly exceed the phase of the shift in generations among expert consultants. Staff from different areas of expertise are prepared for working on complex nuclear problems, one important aspect being the interaction among the areas of competence involved. The curriculum offers nuclear knowledge as well as specialized knowledge in various disciplines. Training is offered not only in the format of seminars but also on the job. After all, on-the-job training is irreplaceable as it conveys specialized knowledge important in specific jobs and subjects.
