Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on small modular reactor safety both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in reactor safety — it punishes it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations is examined, not just described. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about small modular reactor safety. It is written for people who have to make the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline work with the resources they already have. The difficulty is not agreeing that reactor safety matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It treats small modular reactor safety as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The professional literature on reactor safety converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to small modular reactor safety across the asset life cycle.

03

Plan small modular reactor safety around shutdown windows rather than against them.

04

Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on reactor safety.

05

Build the internal capability for small modular reactor safety rather than depending on external support indefinitely.

06

Handle the trade-offs in reactor safety between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

07

Build the competence and certification matrix for staff working on small modular reactor safety.
