Welcome and Introduction

Ashley Ruocco – Ruocco welcomed all to the OEC Spring Webinar and introduced those at HQ in Germantown. Please continue to email your attendance to Gail Thomason . Gail Thomason will also be assisting with the minutes to the OEC calls; this support is very much appreciated.

The OEC Spring Webinar was held in lieu of the Annual OEC Meeting that is typically held in conjunction with EFCOG’s ISM& QA Workshop which was cancelled due to budget and travel restraints.

Ruocco explained the webinar features and expectations for the webinar. Ruocco did a roll-call by site and external organizations so that all could introduce themselves and everyone knew who was on the call.

External operating experience was reviewed by Ruocco. (Details on the external OE are in the OEC Presentation emailed and posted to the OE Wiki).

Office of Analysis Initiatives presented:

-  Lessons Learned Program and Database- Ruocco

·  HQ Lessons Learned Database improvements/upgrades are being assessed. External Lessons Learned Programs and Databases are being benchmarked at this time. Suggestions for the Lessons Learned Database/Program are welcomed.

-  Corporate OE documents under development or recently released- Ruocco

·  Newly released:

o  OE-1, Improving DOE Capabilities for Mitigating Beyond Design Basis Events

·  Under Development

o  Draft OE Summary Article, Fall Fatality While Installing Work Platform at Remote Bonneville Power Administration Project, within HS-20 management review

o  Draft OE Summary Article, Management and Oversight Inadequacies at the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit, updating draft soon to be in management review

-  OE Wiki - Ruocco

·  Most Recent OE Wiki Video- Animation of Fire at Chevron's Richmond Refinery

o  This video provides an overview of a catastrophic pipe failure at Chevron USA, Inc. refinery in California. The CSB investigation revealed inspection deficiencies and replacement issues.

·  OE Wiki Video- I Fell Off the Roof Today

o  This video reviews the importance of fall protection equipment. A roofer shares an experience where he lost his balance while working on a three-story residential project and how the fall protection gear he donned saved his life.

-  ORPS Order and OE Order implementation- Ruocco

·  DOE O 232.2, Occurrence Reporting and Processing of Operations Information. Responses to Frequently Asked Questions have been vetted many times through the ORPS Task Group and HSS SMEs. Draft is currently within HS-20 management review.

·  One-Year Accuracy Review of DOE Order 232.2, Occurrence Reporting and Processing of Operations Information. In April, HS-24 updated the ORPS Task Group and requested feedback on specific Reporting Criteria. Suggestions are in review with HS-24 management.

-  Self-Assessment reviews on the effectiveness of the OE Program- Ruocco

·  A memo is drafted and within review that requests line programs and the field to formally verify OE Program Coordinators and members, as well as to remind all of the requirements and responsibilities listed in DOE O 210.2A. Appreciate all who updated their information, people would like to join, and those who are no longer involved.

·  OE Program Themes were discussed with the OEC. This would be in conjunction with Highlighted Presentations on the monthly calls. Possible theme ideas are welcomed.

·  Any feedback on the OE Program and this webinar is appreciated.
