NOU UTSPR Training Center was established by SRO, the main organization in the Russian nuclear power industry, which unites all companies that participate in the construction of nuclear power stations and other objects. The private educational institution was formed on the order of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, and aims to provide Rosatom construction projects with skilled and qualified workers.
At its two training and production sites in Moscow and Novovoronezh, UTSPR trains the managerial personnel and operating staff of SRO member companies: site engineers, foremen and skilled workers, including welders. In addition, it offers e.g. ISO quality management and occupational safety courses. UTSPR is known for its well-equipped facilities and resources for solid theoretical and practical training. It is the only training center in Russia to have training and testing yards for working at height and in confined spaces in construction and assembly sites.
Welding equipment and cooperation: NOU UTSPR is specialized in the training of nuclear energy sector staff. Kemppi has partnered up with UTSPR in providing the center with modern arc welding equipment in order to match the real working conditions of the industry. The partners have also signed a cooperative agreement concerning joint welding activities and training.
