Students will utilize a minimal Design Information Questionnaire to perform a Diversion Path Analysis (DPA) for B-Reactor. They will then determine misuse scenarios at B-reactor, including possible equipment that may be misused.
Utilizing generic objectives, students will develop Technical Objectives for the diversion paths they identified. Students will then devise a safeguards approach based on their TO’s by identifying specific measures.
