Abstract

Senior managers of a large nuclear utility recognized the need to improve the familiarity of both line and oversight staff with beneficial safety, quality, and stewardship principles expressed in Ref. 1. They recognized that the Ref. 1 criteria, although containing profound wisdom, do not readily capture the attention of user populations. They recognized the dilemma that on one hand, a better understanding of these principles was needed and on the other hand, the criteria themselves lack elements of drama and attractiveness. They therefore decided to sponsor development of an event-based quality criteria training program that would involve the trainees in dynamic sessions and would be based on dramatic events that could have been prevented or made less consequential by the application of the safety, quality, and stewardship principles in Ref. 1.

Education and training in the field of nuclear instrumentation and measurement: CEA/INSTN (National Institute for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies) strategy to improve and develop new pedagogical tools and methods

Conference Vitart, Xavier; Foulon, Francois; Bodineau, Jean; ...

Part of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) is a higher education institution whose mission is to provide students and professionals a high level of scientific and technological qualification in all disciplines related to nuclear energy applications. In this frame, INSTN carries out education and training (E and T) programs in nuclear instrumentation and radioprotection. Its strategy has always been to complete theoretical courses by training courses and laboratory works carried out on an extensive range of training tools that includes a large panel of nuclear instrumentation asmore »« less
Observational study of classroom health and safety training in coal mining

Technical Report Digman, R; Grasso, J

Few efforts have been undertaken to date to assess the quality of mandated coal mine health and safety training for new miners and experienced miners. This study was concerned with the quality and effectiveness of existing classroom health and safety training programs. The study involved field data collection through pre- and posttesting of trainees, audiotaping class sessions, and administering short feedback forms with trainers and trainees at 14 sites in West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. Results indicate that goals, methods, materials, and outcomes of existing training programs vary widely among trainers and sites. The report provides less by waymore »« less
National Incident Management System (NIMS) Standards Review Panel Workshop Summary Report

Technical Report Stenner, Robert; Kirk, Jennifer; Stanton, James; ...

The importance and need for full compliant implementation of NIMS nationwide was clearly demonstrated during the Hurricane Katrina event, which was clearly expressed in Secretary Chertoff's October 4, 2005 letter addressed to the State's governors. It states, ''Hurricane Katrina was a stark reminder of how critical it is for our nation to approach incident management in a coordinated, consistent, and efficient manner. We must be able to come together, at all levels of government, to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from any emergency or disaster. Our operations must be seamless and based on common incident management doctrine, becausemore »« less

Operational Readiness Review, Rocky Flats Plant, Building 707

Technical Report

The Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is one of several activities to be completed prior to resuming plutonium operations in Building 707 at the Rocky Flats Plant. The Secretary of Energy will rely in part on the results of this ORR in deciding whether the resumption criteria for Building 707 have been meet. Shortly after assuming management responsibilities for the Rocky Flats Plant in January 1990, EG G recommended that plutonium production operations be suspended until corrective actions could be made for improved plant operations. In April 1992, the mission of Building 707 was changed from production to contingency for futuremore »« less
