The effective design of Human Technology Organizations (HTO) and their interfaces is the key to maintaining both safe and effective reliable operation. The IAEA standards refer to this as a systemic approach. This session will give participants an opportunity to apply HTO when approaching design, operations and events in a structured way. HTO allows aspects to be reviewed and understood in context, and improvement opportunities can be identified and assessed for their impact. Through case studies, theory and practical exercises, participants will deepen their understanding of HTO concepts. At the end of this session, participants will have the knowledge to describe HTO concepts and their applicability to peers and leaders in their organization and make the case for integrating systematic HTO thinking into their management system implementation.

This session will provide participants with an improved understanding of what safety culture is and the role of leaders in establishing and preserving a `healthy’ safety culture in a nuclear company. Participants will gain a better understanding of their role in leading and setting safety culture within their organization and will also walk away with the tools necessary to effectively interact with employees and contractors to influence change.

This half day learning session focuses on the application of Commercial Grade Dedication to meet current industry needs and regulatory requirements. Case studies and best practices with an emphasis on non-traditional dedications such as software, calibration and other services are used to illustrate the application of current Commercial Grade Dedication requirements and the roles and responsibilities of owners, Engineering, Procurement, Construction service providers, and suppliers. The requirements of ASME NQA-1-2012 Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications are used as the framework for this discussion.
