Interview questions for operators include:

What are management's goals?

How often do you see management in the activity?

How do you plan for safety?

What is your impression of safety versus production?

Finally, a question that could be asked of training, maintenance, and radiological control

organization personnel is:

What is the working relationship between operations and support organizations (Training,

Maintenance, Radiological Control)?

After completing an interview, the information gathered should be evaluated to determine if there

are any apparent deviations from activity requirements. These leads can normally be validated or

disproved by conducting one or more of the following:

Observations of and interviews with operators

Tours of the activity and interviews with shift supervisors or foremen

Interviews with shift supervisors, activity managers, and operations supervisors

Reviews of operating and program procedures

Interviews with training, maintenance and radiological control organization personnel

6.1.5 Document Review. Activity policies may be reviewed during the assessment to become

familiar with activity operations and management expectations concerning goals and authority.

However, since document review only describes administrative performance, actual performance

should be verified through interviews and observations. Examples of documents that could be

reviewed include:

Management safety policies and goals

Performance indicators

Operations resources and staffing plans
