The Westinghouse Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) Equivalency Certification Course is designed to give qualified/experienced personnel the equivalent knowledge and skills of a senior reactor operator (SRO) on the Westinghouse Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant Systems (SNUPPS) plant. The training provides each student with a challenging and effective way to develop his or her understanding of Pressurized Water Reactor Plant integrated system operation.  By the end of the course, the successful student will have the knowledge and skills required to direct the operation of the Westinghouse Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant Systems (SNUPPS) plant under normal, abnormal, and emergency plant conditions.

Consistent with the Nuclearning® Educational Model, the Senior Reactor Operator Equivalency Certification Course incorporates numerous student-centered learning activities to help the student learn and remember the concepts being studied. This approach puts the student at the center of the learning process making him an active participant in all learning activities. Specifically, the course incorporates instructor facilitated online learning and discussions, classroom exercises, control board demonstrations, group work exercises, student presentations, and hands-on main control room simulator operation.  Industry operating events are incorporated throughout the course to provide context for the knowledge and skills acquired, and to keep nuclear safety in the forefront of all system and personnel interactions.
