Observations Models to Track Learners’ Activity during Training on a Nuclear Power Plant Full-Scope Simulator

Abstract

In the context of the professional training of operators of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) on Full-Scope Simulators (FSS), the objective of our work is to propose models and tools to help trainers observe and analyze trainees’ activities during preparation and debriefing. For that purpose, our approach consists in representing the actions of the operators and the simulation data in the form of modeled trace. These modeled traces are then transformed in order to extract higher information level. Trainers can visualized the different levels of trace to analyze the reasons, collective or individual, of successes or failure of trainees during the simulation.
