Regional Basic Professional Training Course (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety
The shift staffs investigate apparent abnormalities and malfunctions and report
unexplained events to their supervisors. Persons working in safety related areas strictly
follow requirements, such as those relating to welding, helmets, safety gear, protective
clothing, radiation work permits, etc. Independent verification is applied as appropriate to
activities important to safety.
Status reporting and recording systems function well and operator verification is frequent
and effective. Shift crew checks on the condition of systems and components by
observation, logging, analysis of data and any testing within their responsibility. In
particular:
System and component status changes are appropriately documented and
communicated from local control stations to the main control room in a timely
manner.
Activities affecting the status of systems and components important to safety are
planned, known to the shift supervisor, and authorized by the shift supervisor or the
shift supervisor's delegate.
The operating condition of systems and components is effectively monitored and
reviewed and appropriate actions initiated when needed:
− Checklists or other comparable means are used to ensure that necessary safety
equipment is operable and that the proper conditions are met for each mode
of operation.
− Log keeping is timely and accurate and adequately reflect plant activities and
status.
− Operator field checks are sufficient to monitor the local status of safety
equipment.
− A surveillance test program is properly executed to ensure that safety equipment
is verified to be operable through testing.
