2、vents at Nuclear Facilities Sponsor Nuclear Power Engineering Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society Approved 28 October 2015 IEEE-SA Standards Board Abstract: Common terminology and recommended practices for initiating and conducting event investigations, analyzing data, producing results,
3、and identifying corrective actions associated with facility personnel, processes, equipment, and systems at nuclear facilities are provided in this document. The scope of event investigation activities addressed includes, but is not limited to, root cause analysis, which is an in depth investigation
4、 process used to identify primary causes of an event based on the systematic and consistent use of analysis tools. This recommended practice can be used for the investigation of all events and allows the use of a graduated approach to the depth of the investigation based upon the event significance.

Comments on standards Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice pertaining to

Copyrights IEEE draft and approved standards are copy

Updating of IEEE Standards documents Users of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any time by the issuan
25、ce of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments, corrigenda, or errata. An official IEEE document at any point in time consists of the current edition of the document together with any amendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect. Every IEEE standard is
26、subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten years old and has not undergone a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determi
27、ne that they have the latest edition of any IEEE standard. In order to determine whether a given document is the current edition and whether it has been amended through the issuance of amendments, corrigenda, or errata, visit the IEEE-SA Website at http:/ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/standards.jsp or cont

If a patent holder or patent applicant has filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb

Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination to applicants desir
32、ing to obtain such licenses. Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims,

Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights,
34、 and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association. Copyright 2015 IEEE.

IEEE Subcommittee 5 on Human Factors, Control Facilities and Human Reliab
41、ility (SC5), a unit of the IEEE Nuclear Power Engineering Committee (NPEC), has developed and maintained human factors engineering standards for nuclear facilities since the early 1980s. SC5 has structured its standards in a hierarchical fashion. The top-level SC5 guidance document is IEEE Std 1023,
42、 IEEE Recommended Practice for the Application of Human Factors Engineering to Systems, Equipment, and Facilities of Nuclear Power Generating Stations and Other Nuclear Facilities. IEEE Std 1023 promotes the systematic integration of human performance considerations in the life cycle of commercial n
43、uclear power stations and other nuclear facilities. IEEE Std 1023 is supported by additional standards written to address specific technical needs. IEEE Std 1707 is an additional standard that provides a recommended practice to establish the characteristics of an acceptable approach to event investi
44、gations. Such investigations can serve as part of the basis for operating experience reviews needed to support IEEE Std 1023. The need for a Corrective Action Program at nuclear facilities is discussed in regulations (e.g., 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, criterion XVI). The investigation process in IEE
45、E Std 1707 provides one framework for implementing such programs. In addition, this process aligns with the event investigation section of the voluntary guidance of OSHA Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines (Federal Register 54:3904-3916), which supports 29 CFR 1910 requirements. This rec
46、ommended practice provides the nuclear industry a common approach for planning, conducting, and reporting event investigations. It includes definitions and elements for corrective action plans. Staff and management at nuclear facilities who complete event investigations and those evaluating event in
47、vestigation reports can use the document to fulfill their respective roles. Event investigation reports serve a key role for sharing event information within the facility conducting the investigation, as well as among similar facilities and by the organizations charged with evaluating the event inve
48、stigations. It is important that reports include sufficient information in a manner that allows for a common understanding of event causation. This recommended practice focuses not only on specific causes, but on the entire organizational infrastructures role in events. The investigation reports als
49、o can be used to focus on needed improvements in personnel, processes, and system and equipment performance. This recommended practice identifies seven elements of an acceptable event investigation including the following: a) Establishing roles and responsibilities (see 4.1) b) Planning (see 4.2) c) Information gathering and analysis (see 4.3) d) Cause determination (see 4.4) e) Corrective action plan (see 4.5) f) Investigation report (see 4.6) g) Records (see 4.7) This document is intended to be used by personnel at nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel processing plants, resear
