OUTCOMES

The information we get from you will:• Affect TTC decisions on new reactor simu

purchases and the development of training to be used in cross qualification as new reexaminers and inspectors.

• Inform the Program Offices on potential ch

to the NRC’s current approach to operator and inspection.
