	- **◦** Experience gained during education period in diverse approaches
	- **◦** Experience enhanced during PhD studies
	- **◦** Training for working place at a new nuclear plant
	- **◦** Participation in commissioning and operation-related activities of a new plant built under license from a Western country in an importing country
	- **◦** Analyses and studies for new generation reactors in various countries and type of organizations
	- **•** Diversity of the experience is a very interesting challenge with specific insight on the driving forces for continuous improvement in such cases.

A set of typical phases as defined by the method proposed [1–7] are defined for all the chosen cases. For all the cases there are some common features related to:




**Figure 6.** Case A and B typical phases in KMP

*For cases A and B,* phases 3-A, 5-E, and 9-I are defined as being dominant. Therefore, the main characteristics (described on the second column in Figure 6) and the impact of the phase features on the potential creative solutions (as per the third column of the same figure) are describing the expected type of solutions on the dilemmas encountered in this case.

*For case C and for cases D and E (considered together as having similar features),* phases 3-A, 5-E, 6- F, and 8-H (for case C) and 3-A, 5-E, 6-F, and 8-I (for cases D and E) are defined as being dominant. Therefore, there are similar type of conclusions to case A, in the sense that the main characteristics (described on the second column in Figures 7 and 8) and the impact of the phase features on the potential creative solutions (as per the third column of the same figure) are describing the expected type of solutions on the dilemmas encountered in this case.
