Content:
• Plant mission (Section 6.1) • Roles and responsibilities. This includes multi-unit monitoring and teamwork, and high levels of automation (Section 6.2) • Management of normal operations. This includes 10 issues of which the first seven relate to staffing and workload. (Section 6.4) • Management of off-normal conditions and emergencies. This includes nine issues which the first seven relate to staffing and workload. (Section 6.5). 2. Identify Primary Tasks a. For each of the challenging operating conditions, the applicant should identify the primary plant control tasks which operators need to perform to a level of detail to support workload analyses. Additional Information: If available, plant-specific procedures can be used to identify the tasks and task sequences for addressing each operational condition. If the actual detailed operating, off-normal, and emergency procedures are not available there may be vendor procedure guidelines or predecessor plant procedures that can be used. Depending on their level of detail, procedures may only define the tasks that operators perform at a high level. In that case, applicants should conduct task 18.0-37 Revision 3 – December 2016 analyses to develop the detail needed to support workload analyses. For example, one cannot determine the workload of a primary task like ‘Start Pump A,’ without breaking it down to more-detailed subtasks not typically described in procedures. The subtasks may include detailed actions such as: navigate to the feedwater display, locate the pump to be controlled, verify that the correct pump has been selected, assess that the preconditions for starting the pump are acceptable, click on the pump icon to access the pump controls, select “on” and click “Enter,” and finally verify that the pump has been turned on and is operating properly. These subtasks are the detailed means by which the higher-level plant control task is accomplished. b. The applicants should include an
