The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has submitted a request to renew an information collection about operator simulator training data, titled "Collection of Operator Simulator Training Data," to the Office of Management and Budget for review. The information collected comes from license holders and applicants for power reactor licenses, excluding those with decommissioned facilities. The data aids in training and improving the Scenario Authoring, Characterization, and Debriefing Application (SACADA) software used for simulator training and human reliability analysis. The NRC encourages licensees to voluntarily participate in utilizing this software for their training, offering support and access in exchange for data sharing to enhance training and analysis techniques.
Simple Explanation
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) wants to get more information from people who help run nuclear reactors, and they use this information to make a special computer program better for practice and safety checks. They ask these people to share their data, helping everyone learn and stay safe, but it's not clear how they pay for it or if there's any extra help for sharing.
