FOO-200 Conduct of Operations
This performance-based course provides students an opportunity to apply the principles associated with a formal operating environment as developed by DOE O 422.1 Chg 3 (MinChg), Conduct of Operations. Students will acquire a detailed understanding on the importance of applying "best practices" for conducting both operations and field oversight functions. Best practices are derived from the DOE Technical Standards (Guides to Good Practices) related to Conduct of Operations. Students will analyze and discuss video and written case studies from industry. Through facilitated discussions, students will derive relevant approaches and solutions, as well as show practical application to their work environment.
The new DOE-HDBK-1214-2014, Conduct of Operations Assessment Field Handbook, will be introduced in this course. The handbook is reviewed for each element of the Order requirements. An instructor-led discussion of how to use the handbook for performing field observations applicable to each element will be discussed.
FOO-205 Conduct of Operations Case Study Applications
This is an interactive course that requires student collaboration to apply the principles of DOE O 422.1, Conduct of Operations. Students will acquire an understanding for the importance of execution and oversight for Conduct of Operations. Through facilitated discussions, students will analyze DOE complex abnormal event scenarios, discuss probable communications with facility management, and discuss possible follow-up activities. This course assumes a basic level of knowledge in each section of DOE O 422.1.
Recommendation: This course is highly recommended for DOE/NNSA personnel that would like credit in this training course for continuing training purposes. Therefore, students qualified as Facility Representatives (FRs), or previously qualified FRs, are highly encouraged to take this course. For personnel that have only completed the FOOO-100DE e-learning course, DOE/NNSA managers approving attendance for this course should ensure registrants possess a working level of knowledge of Conduct of Operations (CONOPS) and have acquired field oversight experience in CONOPS.
FOO-210 Conduct of Maintenance
Introduce students to the basic concepts and processes that provide an acceptable approach to accomplish maintenance conducted at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities (sites, facilities, and projects). The approach taught is based on the guidelines and processes provided in DOE G 433.1-1A, Nuclear Facility Maintenance Management Program Guide for Use with DOE O 433.1B and industry best practices. The course will be in a classroom setting consisting of instructor-led lecture and discussions. Students will apply their knowledge of the concepts and processes in a capstone exercise. Student participation in exercises is evaluated by instructors to ensure understanding of key elements of Conduct of Maintenance.
