SECTION III
ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL TECHNIQUES
Purpose
The purpose of this section is to establish a conduct of operations program which should result in
improved quality and uniformity of operations.
Supplemental Guidance
Appendix A provides a listing of guidance documents that may be useful in developing the site
specific conduct of operations program.
Policy
Fusion facilities should have a policy that assures: operations are managed, organized and conducted
in a manner to assure an acceptable level of safety; and operators have procedures in place to control
the conduct of their operations.
Guidance
Experience has shown that the better operating facilities have well defined, effectively administered
policies and programs to govern the activities of the operating organization, including the areas
described by these guidelines. The guidance is based upon well developed industrial operations
practices. They are written to be flexible, so that they encompass the range of facilities and
operations.
Each fusion facility should develop a conduct of operations program which covers the following
topics, as appropriate, using a graded approach. Specifics for each of the sections can be found in
the references cited in Appendix A.
Operations Organization and Administration
The organization and administration of operations should ensure that a high level of performance is
achieved through effective implementation and control of operations activities. Operations should
establish a policy of excellence under which the facility is operated and clear lines of responsibility
for normal and emergency conditions are established. Policies, resources, monitoring and
accountability for operations should be established to meet this guideline.
Shift Routines and Operating Practices
Standards for the professional conduct of operations personnel should be established and followed
so that the operator performance meets the expectations of facility management. Specifically,
requirements for watch standing practices and routine shift practices should be established.
