TRAINING MANAGERS CONFERENCE MEETING

SUMMARY

On April 25 and 26, 2002, Region II hosted a Training Managers Conference entitled, Enhancing Communications and Efficiency. The meeting covered topics aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the operator licensing program, and enhancing the lines of communication. Focusing on these central themes resulted in several tangible improvements to various aspects of the process. The meeting provided an open atmosphere of exchange of ideas between the licensee stakeholders and the NRC representatives from the region and headquarters. Feedback from the meeting indicated that it was very beneficial to all participants.
