Increased demand for electricity and continued PANELISTS: environmental concerns have highlighted the worldwide need for a Robert Einziger (ANL) sustainable nuclear industry and have opened public dialogue about Tom Brookmire (Dominion Gen/Res) the possibility of the construction of new nuclear power plants. The Bruce Hilton (ANL-Idaho) recent power crisis in California and power shortages elsewhere Mike Billone (ANL) have heightened this renewed interest in nuclear power. Ping Hsu (Southern Co.) Kimberley Gruss (NRC, Rockville) This new optimism within the industry must be backed by solid public Charles Inerrante (NRC, Rockville) support for the industry to once again flourish. This support will only Carl Beyer (PNNL) come from absolute public confidence in the safety of nuclear power Albert Machiels (EPRI) and the industry's ability to operate responsibly.

2001 ANS ANNUAL MEETING: “SAFETY CULTURE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ECONOMIC VALUE IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET” Professional Development Workshop–1 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP #1: Keys to Career Success - Essential Skills for Life (sponsored by the NAYGN)

Saturday, June 16, 2001 • 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Room: Executive C&D

PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP: This workshop will provide you with the professional skills that you need to succeed and give you the tools to develop them. This dynamic workshop will incorporate elements of goal setting, how to achieve balance in your life to maintain your commitment to your professional life, and how to win at office politics. These are some of the essential skills needed to professionally excel in your career. Developing these skills will also provide your employer with a well rounded individual who will remain dedicated and be able to successfully manage any situation.

WHY FOCUS ON THESE SKILLS? • Goal setting - Provides the process used to define how to get from an initial point to the end point without missing a step and how to do it in the most efficient manner.

• Balance - How to avoid burning out, and instead remaining a dedicated, motivated individual who is committed to success.

• Office Politics - Provides tools to successfully manage any situation through understanding the undercurrents and crafting your communications and actions to effectively attain your objectives.

Official Program PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP #2: Reducing Human Errors in Nuclear Environments (A Human Engineering Approach)

Sunday, June 17, 2001 • 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Room: Lakeshore B

WORKSHOP ORGANIZER AND S. Alenka Brown-VanHoozer, Manager, Center for Cognitive Processing Technology, CHIEF INSTRUCTOR: Advanced Computing Technologies, BWXT Y-12, L.L.C., 1099 Commerce Park, Oak Ridge, TN 37830-8027; Telephone: 865-241-9779, Email: [email protected].

WORKSHOP SPONSORSHIP: Human Factors Division (HFD) and Operations and Power Division (OPD).

MATERIALS PROVIDED: Hard copy of PowerPoint™ Slide Show for note taking. Professional Development Workshop–2 Development Professional

Workshop attendance is limited to the first forty (40) paid applicants. This is to provide for collegial discussion and individual attention.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN: During this workshop we will look at mismatches in communication that lead to ineffective decision-making strategies and the gathering of imprecise information - leading to inherent design errors. An opportunity will be afforded the participants to better understand the mental process a human constructs in making errors, and how simple solutions can minimize this issue. This workshop will provide the participants with a myriad of approaches to use immediately upon completion of this workshop. Participant-instructor interaction is the key element in this workshop to understanding human error.

WORKSHOP TOPICS WILL INCLUDE: • How we construct decision-making and learning strategies that lead to specific outcomes. • Designing systems based on designers’ and users’ decision-making strategies. • Reducing inherent human design errors in systems. • Reducing human errors in task related operations. • Reducing human errors in written procedures. • Reducing human errors in training. • Simple applications and approaches for designing more efficient man-machine interfaces and systems.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: WHO SHOULD NOT ATTEND: This workshop is for professionals whose current or near-term This workshop is not for people who want to continue thinking future duties involve: that: • Designing man-machine interfaces • Hardware and software upgrades or new systems are the only • Designing decision-making systems solutions to reducing human errors. • Designing advanced learning systems • Designers are human; therefore, they will understand how to • Procedure writing correct for human errors. • Training • Engineers are good communicators. 40 • Project Management, Project Engineer, etc. • New procedures and more training will correct the problem(s).

WORKSHOP ORGANIZER: Dr. Robert Busch, Director, Nuclear Engineering Laboratory, University of New Mexico

PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP: This course is designed for individuals who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (formerly the EIT exam) and who are preparing for the Professional Engineering Exam (PE Exam) in Nuclear Engineering. Instructors will provide details on registration and how it differs from state to state, plus an overview of the examination formats. The six basic skill areas, neutronics, instrumentation and measurements, nuclear power shielding, nuclear materials and fuels, and radioactive waste will be discussed in details. For each skill area, the instructor will describe topics and the skills to be tested within each.

Examples of questions will be presented in depth, after which students will work other “typical” questions on their own. Instructors will provide assistance, then review solutions with the group. Students will be provided a sample exam and list of recommended resources for continued study.
