APPENDIX A

Enabling

Learning

Suggested Learning Activities:

Objectives

2.1, 2.2

Review and discuss, with an experienced STA, the necessary

involvement of the STA and the impact of the STA's actions on facility

operations and public safety.

2.2-2.5

Use a case-study approach to facility operations with emphasis on STA

involvement and oversight to maintain the basic design operating

considerations associated with safety. Stress the responsibility of and

need for the STA to maintain an overall perspective of facility operations

and not be so drawn into a specific problem or activity that this

perspective is essentially lost. Reference 1 may be helpful in

demonstrating this need [e.g., taking conservative actions, monitoring

appropriate indications, and exercising necessary caution when the

facility approaches or is in a condition that could result in challenges to

reactor facility safety or a reduced safety margin (operating experience

can be used to support this activity)].

2.1, 2.2, 2.5

A simulator (for those facilities that have them) may be used to exercise

implementation skills in advocating public safety, STA involvement,

monitoring appropriate indications, and exercising caution when the

facility is approaching or in a condition that could result in reduced

safety.

Note

The simulator may be used to exercise these skills in conjunction with

other learning objectives and training activities.
