UNC Nuclear Industries (UNC) operates Hanford's N-Reactor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at Richland, Washington. N-Reactor is an 860 MWe production reactor whose by-product steam is used to produce electricity by a local consortium of utilities. As cited in the December, 1981 issue of Nuclear News, N-Reactor's nuclear steam production is second only to Connecticut Yankee's Haddam Neck unit. UNC established a Job Performance Aid (JPA) program in 1978. The program was initiated to convert existing operating procedures to a JPA format. To date approximately 250 JPAs have been produced. After 3-plus years, not a single operator error has resulted from the use of a JPA-formatted procedure.
