INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR POWER OPERATIONS

Established by the nuclear power industry in December 1979, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Atlanta. INPO's mission is to promote the highest levels of safety and reliability – to promote excellence – in the operation of commercial nuclear power plants. The Institute is committed to a long-term strategic design that outlines the ways and means by which it will fulfill its mission through 2023. The strategic design takes into acc... ount the current state, the desired end state, and potential barriers in shaping desired outcomes in three separate but interrelated areas - INPO’s corporate responsibilities, U.S. nuclear industry performance and International nuclear industry performance. oday the U.S. nuclear industry and INPO can be proud of their decades-long partnership. The industry’s record of progress—in virtually every aspect of safety and reliability— demonstrates how much has been achieved since the TMI accident. Performance indicators reflect significant industry progress in many areas. But while this hard-earned success is well deserved, the special nature of nuclear technology reminds us that our industry is always judged against the highest of standards. We cannot stand still or think we have accomplished enough, especially at a time when our industry is undergoing rapid change. This is an exciting time to be a part of the nuclear industry, and a part of INPO. The industry is poised to begin building new plants. Another change is the increasingly global nature of the nuclear business. Additionally, our newest nuclear professionals—younger and more diverse—bring with them great enthusiasm and a fresh perspective that can benefit INPO and the industry. INPO is preparing its workforce of the future. Founded in 2008, INPO’s chapter of North American Young Generation in Nuclear provides opportunities for young nuclear professionals at INPO and throughout the industry to participate in knowledge transfer, networking and professional development events.More
