Enabling

Learning

Suggested Learning Activities:

Objectives

5.1, 5.2

Review and discuss with an experienced shift supervisor the necessary

involvement of the shift supervisor and the impact of the shift supervisor's

actions on facility operations and public safety.

5.2-5.7

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

supervisor involvement and oversight to maintain the basic design

operating considerations associated with safety. Stress the responsibility

of and the need for the shift supervisor 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)].

5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.6

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

implementation skills in advocating public safety, shift supervisor

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 (e.g., when an experienced reactor

operator or nuclear facility operator, who is a shift supervisor candidate, is acting

as the shift supervisor in the simulator as part of normal shift crew continuing

training).
