Techniques for Preparing Flowchart-Format Emergency Operating Procedures: Background (Sections 1.0-9.0).

摘要

The two-volume report describes the activities, findings, and recommendations of a project entitled 'Techniques for Presenting Flowchart-Format Emergency Operating Procedures.' The project team surveyed the literature pertaining to flowcharts, reviewed existing flowchart emergency operating procedures (EOPs), interviewed consultants who produced flowcharts, and interviewed reactor operator licensing examiners about the use of flowcharts in nuclear power plants. Volume 1 of the report discusses the use of flowchart-format EOPs in nuclear power plants and presents issues to be addressed in the design and implementation of flowchart EOPs.
