4.7 Facility Systems and Components

The purpose of this module is to enable the trainee to explain the design purpose of facility

systems and components, major precautions and limitations for their use, interactions with

other systems, and to locate major systems and components. Trainee interest may be

enhanced if this section includes an explanation of design considerations and system walk-

throughs. Systems and component training should include those essential to facility safety

and efficiency such as.

Explain the purpose of each system/process

List major precautions and limitations

Describe interaction with other systems

Describe integrated system operation.

4.8 Facility Operations

The purpose of this module is to enable the trainee to apply the following topics

(assignments in the facility or use of simulators may reduce the time required for and

increase the effectiveness of this instruction):

Selected normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures

Major steps in startup and shutdown

Various facility or reactor operational modes

Planning and management of scheduled maintenance periods

Facility Technical Safety Requirements and how they are used

General categories of design bases for accident analyses

Facility parameters that will initiate reactor/process trip

Actions necessary to recover from a reactor/process trip

Major steps in refueling, including post-refueling tests

Departmental responsibilities and authorities and interdepartmental

interfacing

ALARA program and work planning to minimize personnel radiation exposure

Importance of maintenance to safe and reliable facility operation
