Decision-makers in the nuclear industry frequently need to identify and assess options for solving strategic, technical and engineering problems. A formal optioneering process can be used to ensure all important aspects of the decision are taken into account and that the process and conclusions can readily be demonstrated to regulators and other stakeholders. The aim of this course is to provide delegates with an overview of the technique of optioneering. Delegates are introduced to the concepts underpinning optioneering and participate in a theoretical session explaining the various techniques for optioneering. Delegates then have the opportunity to put into practices the techniques they have learnt in a structured group exercise.
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for apprentices, graduates and all other personnel who are new to the optioneering process and require a general overview of its techniques and benefits. No prior knowledge of optioneering is assumed.
Course Overview
This course consists of a theoretical session covering the basics of the optioneering process and moves on to a practical session which allows delegates to put into practice the theory they have learnt.
Real client problems can be used as a basis for the practical session as an alternative to the worked examples provided. The theory session covers the following topics:
- Introduction – what is optioneering?
- Techniques for optioneering
- Steps in the optioneering process
Learning Outcomes
Key learning outcomes from this course are:
- Hazard identification context – why do it and what are the benefits?
- Techniques for identifying and assessing Hazards – the HAZOP hierarchy
- Development of the fault schedule
- The safety sequence hierarchy
Course Delivery
Nuvia’s course tutors have a wealth of experience in hazard identification for a wide range of projects in both the civil and defence sectors.
