Safety-related, Task And Site-specific Training For Accelerator Crews At Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories, and specifically the Radiation Effects and Testing Directorate, have taken aggressive action to comply with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) guidelines concerning conduct of operations. A review of crew performance, surveyed at HERMES III and SATURN pulsed-power accelerators, found that task and site specific training could be enhanced. The same review also found that Environmental Safety and Health (ES&H) concerns could be added to the training in order to further improve operations. This paper details our ongoing efforts to develop such training.
