The requirements for and peculiarities of personnel training for nuclear industry have been formulated. The importance of advanced personnel training for implementing plans to build new NPP units, including those with fast neutron reactors, is emphasized. The significance of students’ research activities in increasing the effectiveness of their training is underlined.

The key conditions for implementing the principle of “training via science” in the process of personnel training for nuclear industry have been formulated. The experience in implementing this principle by the UrFU’s Department of Nuclear Power Plants and Renewable Energy Sources has been summed up.

The paper describes the role of continuity in conducting large-scale studies to retain the accumulated knowledge by forming research groups consisting of students from different years of training, graduate students and company employees.

The process of implementing the principle of «via science» learning has been considered using an example with solution of scientific and technical problems for the Beloyarsk NPP (3D simulation of radiation-hazardous rooms, route optimization of activities in non-uniform radiation fields) and for JSC «Institute of Reactor Materials» (computational and experimental investigation of thermal-hydraulic processes in the SFA storage well of the IVV-2M reactor, development of a passive heat removal system using a ring thermosyphon, development of an experimental test bench and testing of the system operation in different heat removal modes, preparing an application for an invention and obtaining a patent).
