Each topic involved teamwork in the form of practical exercises and case studies.
For the 17 participants from Bulgaria, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine, the course provided an excellent opportunity to discuss and share experiences of the inspection concepts used in different countries. It also gave them the chance to perform a case study on an inspection carried out at NPP Jaslovské Bohunice.
