Hello Mr. Corcoran, I have been reading some post if my time permits, I agree that 90% of the contributions come from 10% of the members, myself not include in...
Rolly, Thanks ever so much. If you ask me a question on this forum I will answer it. I have noticed that I put some messages aside to answer later and then...
Mike, This one sounds interesting. Do you have a link to the web source of the information? Do you know if there is a tech spec that requires access to the...
Bill, Do you have a link to the web source of the information? http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/2006/20060525en.html You could...
Jack, Hmmm....VY spent some monies putting in fire proofed sheet rock in the switch gear room....splitting the redundant sides of the vital bus. I’d say in...
Bill C., You asked 5 questions about organizations learning from their own or other people's experience. Where I work, the answer to all 5 questions is a...
Mike, I'm not sure of the specifics regarding what events require access to the switchgear room. Most safety-related systems and components perform their...
Hi, Causes, precursors, trends etc are all dependent on the theory in use. Reoccurrence of incidents or accidents may indicate an ineffective or inadequate...
OK Bill - I'll take the challenge, since I'm not sure if I'm in the 90% or 10% lately. I worked on an EPRI task force in the late 1990s to improve performance...
Terry, I give the NRC a lot of credit on this one...they spent a lot of time on preparing VY for a feed pump and condensate pump in the prior inspection...
Mike, There's more to this that is readily apparent. I worked with VY for a few weeks last year on the potential for a condensate and feedpump trip as part of...
Yep...that’s what I marveled at....the engineers and operators must have done a lot of prior thinking “not” to get a big vessel transient that led to a ...
Mike, I don't think that fire proofed sheetrock was an option. We have it in our garage though ;-) Could not split the MCC either. And basically, almost all...
Metallic material was used where non-metallic material was required. Was this a near miss fatality? Can you think of a way to stop the missiles and shrapnel in...
A peculiar problem is being faced with vertical sea-water pumps; since last 1-year. There are series of such pumps in the typical intake basin. With the change...
Did you notice it a year ago....what happened a year ago that brought it to your attention? mike ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
Good question. Does the phenomenon affect all pumps the same way? Any questions from other rooticians? Take care, Bill Corcoran Mission: Saving lives, pain,...
Probably more than half of the consequences result, in part, from the culture (meaning disregard for procedures, facilitative assumptions, work loads, schedule...
DD, The vibration could be related to suction pressure on the pump, since as the tide changes, the level at the pump intake also changes, thereby increasing or...
Thanks all for your response. I am just waiting a while, till all query are put togethetr and shall try to answer in organised way. Any questions from other...
The sandbag is used to apply pressure to the groin site where a cardiac catheterization access was obtained. If you don't have the patient in the machine, you...
Bill S., Good question! The short answer is that the machine (magnetic resonance imager) had no problems in this case. The immediate problem was that a...
Re: metal in the MRI machine How about a hand held metal detector like the airport security guards use - place the patient on the machine, (no metal gurney),...
Glen, To my knowledge no one mentions culture in their RCARs and there is no commonly known RCA tool that would get from a consequence to a cultural attribute....
Terry, where could I find this report? We have a similar problem with CAPs glen -desk-806-477-4953 -pager-806-345-9196 ... OK Bill - I'll take the challenge,...
“Unfortunately, existing technologies (e.g., metal detectors) have a fairly high incidence of false positives and false negatives. So, until the technology...
Now I am confused. The definition I was using for "Culture" was: "the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes a company or...
I presented this to a friend of mine that is an architect that specializes in building MRI centers. Here is what he had to say: Thank you for sharing this...
