Financial stakes and simulation training

This contribution aims at depicting the economic evaluation of innovative training at Chinon Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and discussing the consecutive effect produced on the decision-makers. This evaluation corresponds to the last level of Kirkpatrick’s model (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 1994, 2005, 2007): assessment after training of the final resulting performance in real operating situation in terms of productivity, cost or safety. It also includes the Return on Investment (Phillips, 1996).
