4.5 Facility Operations
4.5.1 Normal Operations
Although STAs are primarily involved in providing an independent assessment of facility
conditions during abnormal and emergency facility conditions, STAs can contribute
significantly to the safe and reliable operations of the facility during normal operations.
Through routine independent monitoring of equipment and system operation, STAs can detect
conditions that may be potential challenges to the engineered safety features. In this manner,
STAs can focus on normal operations using preventive actions rather than just being reactive
during abnormal and emergency conditions.
To enable STAs to function as contributing members of the operations team during normal
operations, the training program should emphasize normal operations and provide the
requisite knowledge and skills for STAs to perform the following:
C
Predict expected facility response for system operations covered in normal operating
procedures.
C
Evaluate equipment and system operating conditions to identify degraded performance.
C
Evaluate equipment and system operations to determine impact on engineered safety
features.
C
Evaluate facility conditions to identify potential causes of change in efficiency.
C
Evaluate facility conditions to determine compliance with facility Technical Safety
Requirements.
C
Explain the basis for normal operating procedure limits or precautions.
4.5.2 Abnormal and Emergency Operations
Training in abnormal and emergency operations should provide the requisite knowledge and
skills for STA trainees to perform the following:
C
Recognize a condition for which no procedures exist, and recommend operator action
to maintain engineered safety features and stabilize the facility.
C
Predict the expected values of critical parameters as an event progresses.
C
State the anticipated indications, automatic actions, and immediate operator actions for
selected analyzed events.
C
Describe long-term actions required for core cooling and/or facility stabilization.
C
Describe the initial facility conditions assumed in accident analysis.
C
Discuss the effects on accident progression of initial facility conditions outside the
values assumed in accident analysis.
C
Describe the accidents analyzed in the facility Safety Analysis Report and the
consequences of these accidents.
C
Describe the response and analysis of facility transients and accidents.
