If you have ever wondered what the decision making center of a nuclear power plant would look like were a nuclear accident to develop, you have come to the right place.
My colleague Gary and I are leading one of the “validation” exercises, where the plant staff gets to take their brand new Severe Accident Management Guidelines out for a spin.
We used the big screen in the upper right corner to give them simulated information about the plant, and they worked their way through the guidelines to get the plant under control.
The staff did a great job at “working the plan” and were able to deal with a wide spectrum of events. I feel good about the work I do, bringing the best advice from the latest research to the plants in the fleet, helping them to be better prepared for the worst.
