In 2005, a major nuclear industry organization published guidelines for performance improvement at nuclear power stations. The guidelines depict the performance improvement process as a continuous loop of performance monitoring, analyzing, identifying, planning, and implementing solutions. In 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Council (NRC) added Safety Culture attributes and measurements to their Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) as documented in RIS-2006-13, which resulted in closer scrutiny by the regulator into performance improvement activities at nuclear sites.
As a result, many nuclear utilities now face the daunting tasks of showing compliance with these industry standards, using antiquated and diverse processes and tools. Some have taken the lead by adopting the process and implementing a tool that supports it out of the box. eB Nuclear Performance Improvement is the only software tool available today that supports the entire performance improvement process in an integrated manner, seamlessly integrated with your master equipment list, controlled documents, and other critical data.
