Rolls-Royce SMR’s Post

Continued success for Rolls-Royce SMR Nuclear Reactor Course A second cohort has successfully completed the intensive full-time nuclear reactor course, run by the US nuclear utility Constellation Energy Generation. The 4-week course comprises an intensive series of technical training modules, covering critical aspects of nuclear plant design and operation. The syllabus is a development of the course used by the utility to certify engineers, and prepare individuals for operational training at their nuclear power stations. Paul Howdle, Rolls-Royce SMR’s Head of Engineering Capability, commented: “I’m thrilled the second ‘Constellation Diploma’ course has yet again provided such excellent results, and has further consolidated our close relationship with Constellation. Moreover, the opportunity for Rolls-Royce SMR to jointly engage with Constellation to refine the course offering has been a tremendous example of teamwork. All colleagues in the second cohort have grasped the opportunity and have excelled, continuing to show the enthusiasm, talent and commitment within our engineering function. I warmly congratulate all involved for a first-rate sequel". Amy Ferko, Vice President - New Nuclear Technology and Growth at Constellation, commented: “The second cohort demonstrated outstanding personal and professional commitment throughout. The sharing of knowledge and experience among the team was admirable. I would also like to thank the first cohort alumni for their input to further align the course content and objectives to SMR employee development goals, particularly those who were able to attend portions of the second session, to help ensure lessons were effectively implemented. It was 200% accountability at its finest and showed the commitment to the success of the whole team”.
