This task was developed to assure that the number and capabilities of the staff at nuclear power plants are adequate to provide safe operation. To meet this goal, consideration will be given to: (1) the numbers and functions of the staff needed to safely …
In response to Section 306 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Commission published a "Policy Statement [1] on Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel, March 1985. This Policy Statement endorsed the INPO Accreditation Program …
One purpose of this task is to ensure that the licensing examination for reactor operators and senior operators is a valid measure of the operator's knowledge and ability to perform the necessary tasks and functions required to safely operate and control …
This task was developed to provide assurance that plant procedures were adequate and could be used effectively. The objective was to provide procedures that would guide operators in maintaining plants in a safe state under all operating conditions, …
The objective of this task was to ensure that the man-machine interface (MMI) is adequate for the safe operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants. This objective was to be attained by developing: (1) human factors engineering guidelines for …
The objective of this effort is to develop tested technology to assess the capability and adequacy of utility management and organization to provide for safe operation of their nuclear power plants. This objective will be accomplished by: (1) developing …
The primary purposes of this task are to develop a technical support system for NRC reliability evaluations, especially the PRA programs, and to provide feedback links from operating experience to other elements of the human factors program. A secondary …
