N2  - Given the importance of operating teams coping with incidents occurring at nuclear power plants, there are many training programs using training simulators to enhance the skills of the teams. In these programs, instructors observe the behavior of the teams to advise how to improve the handling of simulated accidents. However this advice depends on the instructors' subjective opinion. The purpose of this research is to take initial steps towards developing a method to evaluate objectively the behavior of the teams during the training courses. This paper describes a preliminary study to understand some characteristics of their behavior under abnormal operating conditions on the way to achieving the final purpose. Four types of decision making, under the following two headings, are covered; who makes the decisions and did the team have sufficient communication covering all as aspects necessary to make a strategy decision. It is also shown that both the leader and the followers share responsibility in making decisions according to the situation that they are facing.<p />
