Operating Philosophy - Continued

DOE-STD-1061-93

9.6

Given a choice of two or more alternatives for a given facility operational situation,

select the one that provides the greater margin of safety, consistent with operating

requirements.

9.7

Given complex actual or simulated operating activities, focus on the following safety

functions or evolutions:

Transportation of fuels or wastes

Spent-fuel receiving and storage

Criticality control

Process control

Heat sink availability

Primary system integrity

Containment integrity.

9.8

Explain the significance of improper water chemistry on facility operations and the

importance of maintaining chemistry parameters over the life of the facility.

9.9

Describe the importance of correctly interfacing with outside agencies or groups.

9.10

Using various operational situations as examples, explain how foregoing a short-term

benefit to prevent sacrificing long-term component integrity is applied to managing

facility operations.
