Applying Design Bases to Operations

DOE-STD-1061-93

Enabling

Learning

Objectives

Suggested Learning Activities:

None

Review basic concepts covered in previous nuclear facility operator

training, to refamiliarize the trainee with information contained in the

facility safety analysis report and plant operating limits.

21.1-21.5

Have a discussion with an operations instructor (having individual

knowledge of facility design criteria) on fundamental design

considerations and the relation of these considerations to facility

operation and operating limits. Stress aspects of design that affect

facility safety, including systems important to mitigating facility

transients. Discuss the role of design bases and operating limits in

minimizing the potential for adverse interactions among systems (e.g.,

adjustments of cooling water to a large component may affect cooling to

other components served by that cooling water system). Discuss

environmentally qualified equipment and the impact upon facility

operation if environmental qualification deficiencies are encountered.

21.6

Use a case-study approach to facility-specific, challenging, and

plausible event(s) that addresses the potential of putting the facility

outside the design bases, such as loss of residual heat removal.

Operating experience may be used to support this activity. (A simulator

may also be used for demonstration following classroom discussion.)
