DOE-STD-1041-93
If a dedicated position is used, the most effective STAs are those who routinely work on shift
with a designated crew. This ensures that the STA is fully informed of plant status should an
emergency occur. Also, experience has shown a greater degree of teamwork and credibility if the
STA is an integral member of the crew. If an on-call STA is used, the STA should participate in
sufficient shift activities (such as crew turnovers and plant tours) to maintain awareness of plant
status and evolutions in progress. This helps ensure that this individual can be an effective
member of the response team upon arrival in the control room.
When a combined position is used, the STA function is normally combined with the senior
licensed individual functioning as the shift manager or the work control room supervisor. For the
combined STA/shift manager approach, it is essential that the individual maintains a broad
perspective of overall plant response. If the combined STA/work control supervisor approach is
used, the individual must monitor critical safety parameters to provide an advisory input to the
crew. This individual cannot be drawn into other duties or tasks that detract from this
monitoring.
4. Crew Teamwork, Operating Practices, and Diagnostic Skills
Teamwork, operating practices, and diagnostic skills are essential for successful completion of the
many complex tasks operating crews perform. Operations personnel work as a team to effectively
manage stationwide resources such as personnel, information, and time. Good teamwork is
strongly dependent on the relationship of the shift manager and other operating crew members to
plant management, as well as on the understanding of and attitude toward the standards and
expectations set by station management. Teamwork skills include the following:
communicating, including open communication among team members
providing leadership
problem-solving and decision-making
team-building
constructively challenging the actions and decisions of other team members
resolving conflict
fostering questioning attitudes
cross-checking and monitoring
prioritizing work
avoiding hasty decisions and hurried actions
To successfully operate the plant, the operating crew integrates technical knowledge and skills by
systematically applying necessary diagnostics. Operating personnel are thoroughly trained and
evaluated on the plant's operational limits and margins, why the limits and margins exist, and how
