Download or read book Authorization of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Personnel written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorization of control room personnel is a normal practice in all IAEA Member States operating nuclear power plants (NPPs). The authorization of personnel is based on whether personnel has a direct impact on safety in accordance with IAEA Safety Guide No. NS-G-2.8 : Recruitment, Qualification and Training of Personnel for NPPs. The methods and practices for this authorization, however, are not identical, and the organization granting the authorization may be different. The various authorization processes are usually based on written and/or oral examinations and in many cases also on the testing of practical skills. Differences in the authorization processes also exist in the examination methodology and in the scope of the practical examinations (e.g., plant walkthrough, use of simulators). The recent increase in the availability of full-scope simulators, in particular full-scope plant-referenced control room simulators, provides an additional, efficient tool for testing the practical skills of the candidates for authorization. Information contained in this document and on the accompanying CD-ROM provides useful guidance and a wide range of practical examples that will be helpful for both NPP operating organizations and regulatory bodies in developing and improving the processes of authorization of control room personnel.--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Download or read book Guidance for Assessing Exemption Requests from the Nuclear Power Plant Licensed Operator Staffing Requirements Specified in 10 Cfr 50 54 m written by U.s. Nuclear Reglatory Commission and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulations set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prescribe the qualifications and staffing levels for licensed operating personnel for nuclear power plants. The introduction of advanced reactor designs and increased use of advanced automation technologies in existing nuclear power plants will likely change the roles, responsibilities, composition, and size of the crews required to control plant operations. Current regulations regarding control room staffing, which are based upon the concept of operation for existing light-water reactors, may no longer apply. Therefore, applicants for an operating license for an advanced reactor, and current licensees who have implemented significant changes to existing control rooms, may submit applications for exemptions from current staffing regulations. The NRC staff is responsible for reviewing the exemption requests and must determine whether the staffing proposals provide adequate assurance that public health and safety will be maintained at a level that is comparable to that afforded by compliance with the current regulations.
Download or read book Development Use and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for the Training and Authorization of Personnel written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of simulators for the training and qualification of nuclear power plant (NPP) control room operating personnel has become a standard practice throughout the world to develop and reinforce knowledge of plant systems and their relationships. It is an approach to increase the ability to apply plant procedures, to advance practical skills in operating the plant in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions, and to build supervisory skills and teamwork. Simulators are also utilized to conduct the authorization or licensing examinations of control room operating personnel, and there is an increasing trend in the use of simulators for non-training purposes. This publication provides Member States with comprehensive guidance on NPP operator training and describes the use of simulators in training and qualification programmes for the personnel. Current trends in the use of simulators in training programmes, as well as approaches to maintaining and upgrading simulators, are also presented."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Human Factors Engineering Aspects of Instrumentation and Control System Design written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety, reliability, and productivity in the nuclear industry result from a systematic consideration of human performance. A plant or other facility consists of both the engineered system and the human users of that system. It is therefore crucial that engineering activities consider the humans who will be interacting with those systems. Engineering design, specifically instrumentation and control (I&C) design, can influence human performance by driving how plant personnel carry out work and respond to events within a nuclear power plant. As a result, humansystem interfaces (HSIs) for plant operators as well as the maintenance and testing of the I&C system cannot be designed by isolated disciplines. The focus of this publication is to integrate knowledge from the disciplines of human factors engineering (HFE) and I&C to emphasize an interdisciplinary approach for the design of better HSIs and consequently improved human performance in nuclear power plants. This is accomplished by practical explanations of the HFE processes and corresponding outputs that inform the I&C development. More specifically, the publication addresses issues in the design process where collaboration between HFE, I&C and other important disciplines and stakeholders is paramount and identifies key tools and tasks for exchanging inputs and outputs between different design disciplines, particularly I&C and HFE. The practical information provided in this publication is intended to support Member States capabilities to improve their approach to I&C through the consideration of HFE.
