Migrating to a new webserver
Some long overdue improvements are on the way as we migrate the quiz web app to a new, more capable server. I'll take the opportunity to upgrade the testing software. Of course web hosting ain't free, so if you have found this site to be useful, please consider donating to help cover some of the cost to keep it on the web. The quiz software will be back online ASAP. Thanks! |
Additional Content, Imporved Layout
In an effort to make the site more useful, and more usable, I have added a list of frequently encountered ANSI device numbers to the references section. I have also tweaked the site's UI, ditching the old vertical navigation bar for a simpler, more intuitive "tabbed" layout. As always, I welcome any feedback on these changes, or recommendations for future improvements. |
New and Improved References Section
The "References" page now includes:
As far as I know, NRCprep is the only site on the internet that provides FREE access to Steam Tables and Mollier Diagram. I hope many others in the nuclear industry will find these resources helpful. |
Added Searchable Standard Tech Specs
For some time now, the search bar at the top of the screen has allowed you to search the entire DOE Reactor Operation curriculum. This feature really comes in handy when you need to review a concept when you're doing a practice exam or quiz. Now, you will also get results from the NRC's Standard Technical Specifications, and bases, which are freely available on their website. These will help you understand the safety function of systems, structures, and components. Currently, all PWR Standard Technical Specifications (Westinghouse, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock and Wilcox) are available to be searched and read. |
Various bug fixes and UI improvements
I had a weekend to make some fixes and improvements to the site. If anyone has any additional feature requests or bug reports, I'm listening! Just shoot me an email.

Added a Discussion Board
I know first-hand that when studying for an exam, and something isn't making sense, you can do one of three things: stare at the textbook until it gives you a headache, forget about it and move on, or ask someone. Come test day, I think you'll agree that the latter is the best option. This will be a great way for folks who are using the site to help one another, and to let me know if there's something I need to fix!' |
Major site update!
NRCprep.com has a fresh new look, as well as major upgrades and improvements to the Practice Exams software. Big thanks to Nicola Asuni for his continued work on TCExam! After nearly a year of being busy trying to pass Systems exams and charting a slightly different course for my career, I finally took a few days off to make a few improvements to this site. I hope others will continue find this site informative and useful! It's been a lot of work, and I get nothing out of it except the satisfaction of creating something. |
