Popis: A sharply focused, two-part program was developed for TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) operators scheduled to take the NRC (US Nuclear Regulatory Commission) examination. The first part was early in the preparatory training, and the second part was given just prior to the examination. The first part consisted of a simple model of stress found in exams, early warning signs of tests stress, and tactics of stress management that were practical to use during the NRC exam itself. The second module consisted of tactics to prepare psychologically for the exam, and involved setting priorities, sleep patterns, physical activities, alcohol, prescription drugs, and nutrition, among others. >
