3 FOREWORD AREVA, a world leader in nuclear power, is committed to meeting energy challenges of the coming years by producing carbon-free energy. New and existing nuclear power programs require resources which are perfectly matched to project requirements to guarantee the very highest level of safety and performance. The development of the nuclear industry as a whole necessitates responsible consideration of the challenges posed by human resources, training and skills. AREVA Learning Solutions benefits from the group's expertise in the nuclear sector and provides its customers and partners with an all-encompassing range of solutions designed to build up human capacity, underpinned by an extensive training offer. Our training solutions are proposed and rolled out by our three training organizations: AREVA University, Trihom and Corys. This document presents some of the training programs available in our catalogue, all of which can be taught in French or English in the country of your choice. A complete offer covering all phases of nuclear programs and projects A sound knowledge of a vast range of topics is essential if a nuclear program is to be rolled out successfully. Failure to ensure that indispensable skills and associated human resources are available at the right time can lead to bottlenecks. We offer training solutions in areas such as reactor physics, design and operation, fuel cycle physics and chemistry, material physics, waste management, facility dismantling, radiation protection and nuclear safety, and vocational and technical training required for field workers on customer sites and in nuclear facilities. We can meet your training needs at all stages of your nuclear program, whatever the level required. We have progressively extended our training offer to areas other than science and technology such as courses on behavioral skills, public acceptance, leadership, project management and international energy framework. Learning solutions with high value added to enhance skills at all stages of a nuclear program AREVA Learning Solutions also offers a complete range of Human Capacity Building services thanks to our ability to leverage AREVA experts in a variety of areas Human Resources Strategy Training Knowledge Management Academic partner networks and the resources available on our industrial sites. AREVA Learning Solutions training programs have also been incorporated into the general training offer proposed by France under the auspices of I2EN (International Institute of Nuclear Energy). 3

CONTENT PYTHON is an imperative programming language with an object-oriented structure. Regular expressions as well as graphic user interfaces are clarified and understanding is further expanded with practical exercises. Attendance of this course allows participants a better introduction into the handling of the PYTHON programming language. The course discusses the following topics in detail: Overview, basic concept and functioning of PYTHON Data types: basic data types, sequential data types, dictionaries and sets Functions: strings, regular expressions, mathematical functions User interactions, standard inputs Modularization Basics of object-orientation PREREQUISITES Established knowledge of engineering or previous attendance of a TXS engineering course, as well as programming basics for structured and object-oriented languages.

40 Training Center Germany TELEPERM XS-PYTHON Advanced COURSE NUMBER L420.2 DURATION 5 days PARTICIPANTS 6-8 people LANGUAGE English / German LOCATION PTM Academy Nuremberg or AREVA Training Center Offenbach TARGET GROUP All employees working with TXS and I&C engineering OBJECTIVES Attendance of this course allows participants to use PYTHON under observation of the newest code quality standards (object-orientation and graphic interfaces). They understand the concept of the PYTHON classes from a higher point of view and can thus write short and easily maintainable PYTHON code. The participants also learn about the design of graphic user interfaces with PyQt and QT Designer. CONTENT The modern, high-grade object-oriented programming language PYTHON allows a smooth transfer of small, simple scripts to highly complex applications according to the newest technology standards. PYTHON thereby never loses the clarity and maintainability of its code. The course focuses on the concept of the PYTHON classes and the object-oriented qualities of the language. A series of short introductions into several different special features of the language is also included, for example exception handling, as well as data and time functions. The Qt-GUI programming is finally discussed with the aid of a window and knowledge is expanded through the connection between QT Designer and PYTHON. The course discusses the following topics in detail: File access Exception handling Data and time Basics of the graphic user interface PyQt Short introduction to QT Designer Connection between QT Designer and PyQt PREREQUISITES Knowledge of TXS-PYTHON/1, basic knowledge of an operating system and a higher programming language. The knowledge from TXS-PYTHON/1 should have already been intensively used through an own script. CONTACT training@areva.com 40
