Emergency Response Training ☢ Required by U.S. Nuclear Regulator Commission (NRC) to conduct emergency drills each year. ☢ Student Operators in training are tasked with developing drill scenarios. ☢ Students become experts instead of passively listening to lectures on emergencies. 10

Emergency Response Training ☢ Emergency Drill Guide student developed scenarios include: ☢ Initial Drill Conditions ☢ Evaluators ☢ Pre-Drill Notifications ☢ Safety Monitors ☢ Precautions and Limitations ☢ Drill Initiation ☢ Operational Limits ☢ Expected Response ☢ Technical Safety Requirements ☢ Evaluation Criteria ☢ Drill Team Duties ☢ Termination and Restoration ☢ Restoration 11

Knowledge Management ☢ DevonWay Track & Trace ☢ Searchable Database ☢ High Turnover Rate ☢ Graduating Students Knowledge Retained ☢ Searchable Maintenance Records 12

Nuclear Safety Culture Future ☢ Nuclear Safety Culture can never be achieved ☢ It is always a work in progress ☢ Must continually be evaluated and monitored ☢ Always striving for excellence 13
