Electrical safety testing that all connections are sound. Live testing Earth fault loop impedance testing: this test is to check that if a fault did occur, that the system meets requirements to cause a disconnection of the supply within the time limit specified RCD testing: on modern electrical systems RCD’s and RCBO’s are regularly fitted, these devices react to electricity missing from the circuit or installation such as when a person is receiving an electric shock as the electricity passes through his body to the ground (earth). The competent person will then issue an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) also known as Periodic
Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination of non-passages to ORSE, a below average with a message (BAM), and a failure. A BAM usually results in a letter to US Fleet Forces Command from the Commanding Officer explaining why the ship failed, and the letter delineates the corrective actions. Corrective acuations usually include the relief of many mid level leadership. A failure to pass ORSE has much stronger consequences including probable relief of the ship's commanding officer and Engineer/Reactor Officer. All ORSE failures automatically and immediately result in removal of the ability to operate the reactor.
