In the Safety Case project, students write a safety case for a change in activity at a nuclear facility.

There is an individual written report, and a safety case presentation. Grades are given based on a marking rubric. The safety case assignment is reviewed by student peers and graded by the course convener. The reason for this peer review is to teach the essential function of a safety/security case for licensing - which is for it to be openly critiqued. Therefore, advocating for one's own assessments, as well as giving and receiving objective criticism, are essential skills for all levels of professionalism in safety-critical industries, and are assessed in this course. This assignment is submitted through Turnitin and students do not see Turnitin similarity reports. Length: max 30 pages.
