Eliminating plant events by reducing the number of shots on goal for IEEE conference record on power engineering

The nuclear electric utility industry has embarked on an initiative to proactively prevent nuclear power plant events by encouraging the collective application of a plant´s organization, leadership and front-line workforce to methodically prevent error-likely situations. The mission of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) is to promote the highest levels of safety and reliability-to promote excellence-in the operation of nuclear electricity generating plants. This paper discusses human performance in the nuclear industry, explains a proactive framework for error prevention and describes INPO activities to promote a more proactive approach in the prevention of nuclear power plant events due to human error
