[mP35] Licensees should demonstrate that their staffing levels, and staff competencies and levels
of authority will be appropriate for the potential risk and consequences over each critical date
associated with the millennium change. In each case this should be reviewed and the proposed
arrangements shown to be adequate. Staff should be adequately trained in all the plant
work-arounds (and changes) prior to the critical dates to which they apply. Staff should also be
advised to be alert to potential system malfunction following each of the critical dates and should
be aware of, and adequately trained in, the actions that should be taken in the event of the failure
of any system.
[mP36] Evidence should be provided that all necessary external supplies have been secured prior
to each critical date such that the need to re-order does not occur during the associated critical
period. This may include the licensees establishing that their suppliers of safety significant items
have made the appropriate securing provisions themselves.
