isolation systems and their importance to NES.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Describe the hazards presented to the safety of NEOs and associated activities

by the introduction of electrical energy sources or equipment using any electrical

source into a nuclear explosive area (NEA).

Describe the controls and design measures to prevent or limit the introduction of

electrical energy into a nuclear explosive.

Describe measures to control static charges, including a human ESD.

14.

Nuclear explosive safety study personnel must have knowledge of fire protection

systems and their importance to NES.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

List the various types of fire protection systems, including active and passive

mitigation controls, detection systems, suppression systems, etc., that service

NEAs and describe the effects of their use on the safety of NEOs and associated

activities.

Discuss the derivation of combustible controls, such as standoff distances, fuel

packages, and containerization, from analyses.
