Team training for effective emergency response
- Westinghouse Electric Corp. Zion, IL (US)
Effective response to a nuclear accident requires timely, integrated actions on the part of the emergency response organization to prevent and/or minimize core damage and subsequent radioactive releases to the environment. Members of a utility's emergency response organization have designated responsibilities and must be properly trained to ensure an understanding of how to best accomplish their particular assignments. However, even with adequate technical training, the emergency response organization is not assured of the ability of the members to perform with fluidity as a team. This paper deals with the concept of team training for emergency response organizations, and in particular, a methodology for conducting emergency response drills which concentrate on team building skills.
