DIGITAL ROD POSITION INDICATION SYSTEM (DRPI). I&C Training Programs

This course is intended for I&C technicians and system engineers.  No previous experience with the Digital Rod Position Indication System is necessary, although some background in electronics may be helpful.

It is very difficult, in operating plants, to find opportunities to train on actual plant equipment. The Digital Rod Position Indication System Training Course addresses this problem by using hands-on training equipment that is very similar to that found in the actual plant. This equipment provides the student with an invaluable opportunity to work on energized equipment in a safe, learning-friendly environment. In this environment, students can see the effect of switch manipulations, practice procedures, and troubleshoot problems while utilizing all of their human performance skills. The net result is the creation of a learning environment that is as similar to the plant as possible.
