  • It proposes nine distinct modifications to existing training programs.
  • The focus is on improving the retention, generalization, and teamwork aspects of training.

    • Main Results:

    • Emergency response training requires overcoming challenges in memory retention over extended periods.
    • Training must enable personnel to generalize skills from training conditions to actual emergency scenarios.
    • Developing effective teamwork mechanisms is critical, especially when retention and generalization are limited.

    Conclusions:

    • Nine modifications are presented to enhance emergency response training effectiveness.
    • These modifications aim to improve nuclear power plant personnel's ability to respond to accident conditions.
    • Optimized training is essential for ensuring safety and mitigating risks during nuclear emergencies.
