Abstract

Support Teams functioning in crisis organization are challenged in the Post-Fukushima Context. Even though these teams are arranged by the company as a defined crisis structure, team members may work together only in crisis situations or crisis exercises: these teams are ephemeral. Training these teams in order to improve their teamwork inside a multi-level crisis organization is an important reliability stake. In this study, a reflexive training device for crisis management in the nuclear industry was designed and tested. Results show that it has allowed participants to debate some teamwork dimensions and helped them to build common references.
