What function does the NPMTT perform?

The NPMTT, or Naval Propulsion Manufacturing Training Team, serves a crucial function in assisting the reactor department. Its primary role is to help manage and maintain operational records related to the reactor's performance and maintenance. This involves documenting activities and ensuring that all necessary records are accurate and up to date, facilitating both safety and compliance with regulations. The team provides valuable support that allows the reactor department to focus on the actual operation and maintenance of the reactor itself while ensuring that all operational data is correctly monitored and reported.

While other options mention functions related to reactor operation, safety checks, and radiation monitoring, these tasks are generally handled by other dedicated systems and teams within the naval reactor framework. The NPMTT's specialized focus on documenting and assisting with operations distinguishes it as a support entity rather than a direct operational or monitoring entity.
