| Abstract | ||
| Training is one of the most important tools for acquiring and maintaining the competency required for various categories of personnel working in the nuclear field. In this context, the Tajora Nuclear Research Center uses the research reactor as well as the Critical Facility Stand, as the main tool to ensure a practical and comprehensive understanding of nuclear reactor physics, principles, and operation. The Critical Facility Stand a 100-watt reactor is a Tank Type that uses water as a moderator for neutrons and enriched uranium by 19.7%(1). A Critical Facility Stand core is a replica of the Main Reactor core IRT-1 (10Mth), which is used as a support facility for the Main Reactor in training new operators as well as conducting experiments for university students. The core training modules focus on topics related to operation and safety in a nuclear facility, radiation protection, analytical nuclear techniques, and their applications, Quality assurance of nuclear facilities, and management. That is thanks to the experience gained in operating and managing the reactor. This paper will discuss the role of the Critical Facility Stand in training new operators of the Main Reactor, and university students, in addition, to the procedures that followed. | ||
