A core management code system has been developed to predict the core parameters for operation and refueling plans within the design limitations. The nuclear calculation is based on diffusion theory and corrected with a bias method. Results from core physics tests and Post Irradiation Examinations (PIE) have been used to confirm the accuracy of these predictions. These verifications are also important to conduct various irradiation tests accurately. This section describes the method and verification for core and fuel management used with the JOYO MK-II core. 

Consequently, BBS misses the mark (much like quality programs did in the 1970s). A quality management system requires that management act on the system, not the workers, in order to solve quality problems. Quality management theory recognizes that output problems are built into the system. The same is true of safety. Most quality and safety problems are not created by individual employees [p. 39]. 

The findings of the initial part of the research, and the development of a new system based approach to safety risk analysis and management theory, is discussed here.

Throughout this book we have emphasized fundamental concepts, and looking at the statistical basis for the phenomena we consider is the way this point of view is maintained in this chapter. All theories are based on models which only approximate the physical reality. To the extent that a model is successful, however, it represents at least some features of the actual system in a manageable way. This makes the study of such models valuable, even if the fully developed theory falls short of perfect success in quantitatively describing nature. 

From a broader perspective, the Abnormal Situation Management Consortium is working to apply human factors theory and expert system technology to improve personnel and equipment performance during abnormal conditions. In addition to reduced risk, economic improvements in equipment reliability and capacity are expected (Rothenberg and Nimmo, 1996).
