VR SOP Training for Nuclear Power: Operations, Maintenance & Emergency Preparedness

Precision, traceability, and culture of safety—embedded in a custom VR programme

Nuclear operations require exacting procedural control, robust human-performance tools, and unambiguous records of competence. Spark develops bespoke VR SOP training aligned to your plant design, maintenance regimes, radiological controls, and emergency plans—supporting consistent behaviours across shifts and contractors.

Nuclear-specific pain points

  • Human performance: pre-job briefs, peer checks, place-keeping, three-way communication.
  • Radiological protection: ALARA behaviours, zone entry/exit, contamination control, dosimetry.
  • Maintenance quality: torque/fit checks, configuration control, foreign material exclusion (FME).
  • Emergency drills: loss-of-coolant or station blackout scenarios, command-and-control coordination.
  • Documentation: rigorous evidence for regulators, I&C tests, surveillance procedures.

How we build for nuclear

  1. Stakeholder workshops: Ops, Maintenance, RP, Training, and Quality align on learning objectives.
  2. Digital twins: high-fidelity models of plant areas, control rooms, and RP boundaries.
  3. Avatar coaching: prompts embed human-performance tools and place-keeping cues.
  4. Assessment: critical step verification, error-likely situation flags, conservative decision-making.
  5. Governance & security: data segregation, access roles, and controlled content updates.

Benefits to the station

  • Consistent execution of safety-critical steps and RP behaviours.
  • Improved drill performance and emergency response coordination.
  • Defensible competence records for oversight and audits.
  • Lower rework and reduced human performance events.
