Module: Leadership and Management

Outline Number: LM-- 2

Terminal Learning Objective:

5. Demonstrate a broad view of facility operations.

Enabling Learning Objectives:

5.1

Given a description of an operating task that puts the public at risk, state the steps

necessary to eliminate the risk.

5.2

Describe what conservative actions might be necessary to prevent challenges to facility

safety (or a decrease in the margin of safety) during facility operations.

5.3

Given a series of operating tasks, evaluate each task to determine the degree to which

the shift supervisor should be personally involved.

5.4

Given a facility condition, diagnose the impact that manual intervention, in anticipation of

automatic system actions, would have on facility operation.

5.5

Given a facility condition involving several parallel tasks, identify the indication that must

be monitored to maintain oversight and overall perspective of facility operations.

5.6

Given a transient situation, describe the responsibilities of the shift supervisor in

maintaining oversight to maintain adequacy of facility control and mitigation strategy by

operations personnel.

5.7

Describe facility philosophy for restoring and maintaining equipment important to safety

in a functional (even if not operable) condition.

severe or adverse accident following an improperly conducted test or a criticality event, or

problems experienced during a heat exchanger tube rupture.
