That’s Powerful: GE Is Using Virtual Reality To Train Nuclear Engineers

March 13, 2017

Few places in the world are more secure than a nuclear power plant in France. Anyone who doesn’t work there full time, including maintenance engineers and field technicians, needs to get a security clearance and to complete rigorous safety training before they can step inside.
This arduous process creates a unique challenge: How do you train new maintenance crews when simply getting access is so difficult? One clever answer is virtual reality.
