“Safety as an Overriding Priority to Competing Goals”

The NRC published its Safety Culture Policy

Statement on June 14, 2011, after three

years of extensive outreach. Applicable to

all NRC-regulated activities, it expresses

the Commission’s expectation regarding

the importance of a safety-first focus. It

also encourages the Agreement States and

organizations interested in nuclear safety to

support its tenets. Safety as an overriding

priority to competing goals is a hallmark of a

positive safety culture. The regulated community

should consider appropriate implementation

strategies for promoting safety culture in

their organizations. As a key driver of safety

performance, the NRC is interested in the

regulated community’s initiatives

“The Importance of Operating Experience

(or how important is OE and can it affect performance?)”

Operating experience is the study of what

went wrong, why it went wrong and how it was

fixed. If it is not documented, imbedded in the

culture of the organization and internalized

by employees then companies are pretty well

guaranteed it will happen again. Performance

improvement can be driven by operating

experience; but operating experience cannot

be driven by performance improvement -- and

performance improvement should not be

confused with performance indicators. Indicators

are frequently the reflection of how well

operating experience is utilized in industry and if

people really do understand the lessons learned.

My vote is: ‘not really…’ but we can get there.
