Conference Information

Accommodations/Hotel Information

The Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa will be the location for the2011 Utility Working Conference, where all meeting activities andtechnical sessions will take place.

Message to Attendees:ANS has made every effort to secure the best possible group nightlyroom rate for you at Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa. That rateresults from a negotiated overall package of event needs such assleeping rooms, meeting room space and other requirements. Eventcosts will increase if ANS falls short of its minimum room blockguarantee.

Please help ANS keep the costs of this event as low as possible bybooking your housing needs at the designated host hotel and throughthe reservation process created by ANS. Reserving elsewhere meansyou are booking outside the contracted room block, jeopardizing ANS’ability to meet its contracted obligations and to keep registration feesto a minimum. ANS appreciates your support and understanding ofthis important issue.

Few nuclear power industry regulatory issues have been as long-lived asthe concerns about ECCS sump strainer performance during a postulatedhigh energy line break, starting with the issuance of Unresolved SafetyIssue (USI) A-43, published in 1979, all the way up to the issuance ofDraft Regulatory Guide DG-1.82 Rev 4 in July, 2010.

It is estimated that more than 1 billion dollars has been spent dealingwith the issue to date, most by licensees for plant modifications andsupporting tests and analyses. While the BWR/PWR Owners Groups,plant engineering teams, and fleet engineering groups are well aware ofthe urgency now associated with this issue, it can be difficult to find ahigh level comprehensive summary.



This session will provide an overview of the history of the regulatoryconcerns, as well as how industry has responded in the past, successfulstrainer solution and testing methods for meeting regulatoryrequirements, and the strainer bypass fuel concerns that are nowgaining heightened scrutiny by the regulators.

ANS Professional Development Workshop- Root Cause Analysis

for Safety Culture and Human Performance Improvement Thursday, August 18, 2011

8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Workshop Organizer and Chief Instructor : Dr. Bill Corcoran, President, Nuclear Safety Review Concepts, Windsor CT 860-285-8779 [email protected] Materials provided: 1) Hard copy of PowerPoint� Slide Show for note taking, 2) PowerPoint file (PPT) of slideshow for use in cascade training in attendees� organizations, 3) Portable document format (Adobe PDF) file of The Phoenix Handbook, the ultimate investigation manual for finding profit improvement in adverse experience (a $150.00 value), 4) Microsoft Word (DOC) file of Root Cause Analysis Report template for use at attendees� organizations. Workshop attendance is limited to the first thirty (30) paid applicants to provide for collegial discussion and individual attention. Who Should Attend: This workshop is for professionals whose current or near-term future duties involve: sponsoring or conducting root cause analyses of

adverse events or their precursors training event investigation teams assessing the effectiveness of event

investigations managing the outcomes of event investigations managing or assessing corrective action programs defending the regulatory aspects of event

investigations Safety Conscious Work Environment Employee Concerns Program

Who Should not Attend: This workshop is not for people who want to continue thinking that: Event investigation is a well-defined science about

which nothing new can be learned. There is a single right way to do root cause

analysis. For every consequential event there is one single

root cause. My organization could not have a serious event

any time soon Event consequences are not controlled by

business decisions. Event investigation should be done mainly to

satisfy outside agencies.

What Will Happen: During this workshop we will journey with the instructor through a safety culture and human performance-oriented approach to event investigation organizational learning. We will take away immediately usable tools that have been applied successfully in the contexts of nuclear power generation, fossil power generation, electric transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution, site remediation, and manufacturing. We will participate in hands-on individual and group work in the actual application of bottom-line customer focused techniques that take full advantage of investigators� abilities to do out-of-the-box thinking. This workshop will furnish the attendees with a spectrum of immediately applicable action items that will be in full compliance with most existing corrective action programs. Participant-instructor interaction will emphasize the modeling and emulation of proven investigator and management behaviors. Workshop topics will include: Safety Culture in Root Cause Analysis Using Event Investigation as a Window into the

Culture Standard Approaches to RCa Lessons to be Learned from Recent

Consequential Events Business Incentives for Cost-effective

Investigations Advance Preparation for Effective Investigation Avoiding Fatal Investigation Errors Effective Event Investigation Team Formation,

Development, and Leadership Human Performance Improvement Investigative Ethics Accommodating Diversity in Team and Customers Asking the Right Questions What to do Before Management Becomes

Enlightened Extent of Conditions and Causes Evaluating Event Investigation Effectiveness Evaluating Event Investigation Program
