At a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the security, training, and safety requirements are quite complex when compared to industrial or commercial facilities. Security requirements start with the completion of an extensive personnel qualification and employment history questionnaire followed by background screening, and security program training. Safety in a NPP includes nuclear safety in addition to the typical industrial safety training.
At a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the security, training, and safety requirements are quite complex when compared to industrial or commercial facilities. Security requirements start with the completion of an extensive personnel qualification and employment history questionnaire followed by background screening, and security program training. Safety in a NPP includes nuclear safety in addition to the typical industrial safety training. Other training includes plant access, radiation protection, work plan, human performance, fit-for-duty, emergency response, etc. An understanding of the plant access, training, and safety requirements, and the importance of outage planning before you perform coating work in NPP is a must.
Contract coatings work in the Commercial Nuclear Industry is quite different than coatings work in other industries. The physical coatings work performed at a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is no different than physical coatings work at any other facility. However, the regulatory, administrative, quality and qualification requirements can be substantially different.

The nuclear renaissance that is emerging in the United States will be based on new power plant designs from a variety of US and international sources. While the new plant designs will be based on the time tested and proven concepts of both the boiling water reactor (BWR) and the pressurized water reactor (PWR), the emphasis of the new plants will be on engineering designs that incorporate increased levels of redundancy in safety systems, and post-LOCA passive systems to move fluids about the reactor containment, thereby providing for long-term core cooling and decay heat removal, The new plant designs will include a strong emphasis on modular, off-site construction where more protective coatings will be applied in the fabrication shop.
Nuclear power provides a heat source for steam-electric generation that does not pollute the atmosphere. Heat is produced in a nuclear reactor by the neutron radiation emitted by the SteadyState fusion of enriched or natural uranium.
