Summary
In short
- An extent of condition review is a record used in General that asks two questions after an investigation: where else does this same condition exist, and where else could this same cause bite us. It is built against Nuclear operating experience practice and forms part of the Incident and Investigation programme.
- Completed for any serious event. Carried out by the investigation lead with area supervisors.
- The template holds 22 fields across 4 sections.
- Nuclear operating experience is nuclear operating experience practice. The nuclear industry discipline of learning from events elsewhere before they happen to you.
- It connects to the rest of the library: linked from Root Cause Analysis.

What is an extent of condition review?
An extent of condition review is a record used in General that asks two questions after an investigation: where else does this same condition exist, and where else could this same cause bite us.

When is an extent of condition review completed?
An extent of condition review is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Completed for any serious event.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Incident and Investigation programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: linked from root cause analysis
Not for
- Risk Assessment, which the single risk assessment used across the whole business.
- Root Cause Analysis, which finds out why something happened rather than who was involved.
- Corrective and Preventive Action, which the single action record used everywhere.
- Anything outside General, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the extent of condition review library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in General — control tower. The orchestration layer. Registries and engines every other workspace reads from.
