7 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Mapping from Assessment to Corrective Action Program (CAP)
Human Performance (HU) Plan Elements Corrective Actions Performance Measures Results
8 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant
- Mapping from Assessment to CAP
- Oversight
- Decision Making
- Documentation
- Accountability / Follow-Through
- Learning Organization
9 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant
- Mapping from Assessment to CAP
- Reviewed current CAP actions in HU
- Matrixed and reviewed by effectiveness
- Learning from the review
- Easier items were completed first as opposed to those potentially more effective
- Risk not thoroughly evaluated
- Asking What if?
- Assessing consequences
- Developing preventive measures
- Planning contingencies
10 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant HU Improvement Plan Elements
- Risk Management
- Management Engagement and Oversight
- HU Performance Fundamentals
- Effective Solutions
- Behaviors
11 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Corrective Actions
- Learnings/Check and Adjust
- Risk actions target both individual and organizational behaviors
- Resource allocation matching experience
- Coaching versus Observation
- Follow through and rigor to closure of issues
- Integrated plan with accountability
12 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant HU Improvement Plan Corrective Actions
- Communication of revised risk standards and expectations
- Revision of existing processes with added emphasis on risk
- Prioritization of workload / alignment of site resources
- Improved oversight - strengthen use of forcing functions
- Coaching and alignment of standards -- top to bottom
- Long-term resource planning
13 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Corrective Actions - Defining the Picture of Risk beyond Probabilistic Risk Assessment
- Risk Management Principles Nothing is routine Take the time to challenge uncertainty Risk significant activities will be made visible Risk significant activities will be planned, challenged, and controlled No Risk option - First Choice Prioritization to minimize operational challenges
- Risk Management Behaviors Stop / engage when we hear justifications or the word routine Methodical fact-based decision making - challenge assumptions Risk significant activities are clearly identified with unambiguous owners Verify commitments in detail / follow through and validate the specifics
14 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Corrective Actions
- Integrated decision making
- Risk procedure / expectations for identification and controls
- Protected equipment process - equipment-specific guidance
- Operations pre-shift briefs on risk with barriers/contingencies
- Revitalizing oversight through proven forcing functions
- Restructuring the Corrective Action screening process
- Closure / effectiveness in the Performance Assessment Board
- Dynamic learning exercises to reinforce behaviors
15 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Corrective Actions
- Reviewing for in-depth preventive contingencies
- Job planning evaluations of risk in work packages
- Projects Challenge Boards with specific plans
- Operational Decision Making for medium and low risk decisions
- Prioritizing work activities and resources
- Support to on-shift crews
- Initial Licensed and non-Licensed Operator classes
- Corrective Action assignments - matching priority with experience
- Protection of core duties
16 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Performance Measures
- Observation Program trends - risk principles
- Periodic review of past decisions - Plant Operations Review Committee
- Quality of documentation verification / validation
- Event Clock Resets
- Performance during Spring 2009 Refueling Outage
- Day-to-day language change and sensitivity to risk
17 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Results To Date
- Communication of a risk picture causing change to sensitivity
- Transformer work activities
- Surveillance activities / Control Room alarms
- Work schedules identify risk categories requiring contingencies
- Added controls for oversight to new risk categories
- Validating new procedures at operating locations
- Precursor trends being identified to prevent concerns
- Taking the time needed - slowing down
