The Emergency Response Guidelines course breaks down the complex Emergency Response Guideline (ERG) network into understandable parts based on plant incidents and accidents.  The student learns the specific purpose of important guidelines and how they interrelate with the ERG network.

This course is valuable for those engineers and managers who are involved in supporting plant operations or writing emergency operating procedures (EOPs) and who work in safety and licensing or engineering capacities.

This course first provides the student with the reasons for the development of the ERGs.  Then the student studies and practices proper use of the ERGs.  To provide an effective learn process, the course guides the student through separate plant events and important accidents, so that the student learns how the ERG network addresses each one.  The student receives valuable experience while practicing the response to accidents, using the ERGs on a full-scale simulator.  Half of the time is spent in the classroom and half in the control room simulator.
