What is the Stop the Reactor Downtime Spiral course about?
You complete a repair, but the log isn’t updated until hours later, if at all. Then, the next shift relies on outdated data. A small issue becomes a reactor trip. The root cause? Not equipment failure. A broken information loop in maintenance documentation that you’re expected to fix without tools or time.
