In 1979, nuclear facilities in the United States committed to establishing an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to operational safety in their nuclear power plants. This commitment resulted in the formation of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). The Institute identifies generic safety problems and precursors by reviewing and analyzing nuclear power plant operating experiences. INPO communicates this information to its members to help reduce the possibility of similar occurrences at other plants. In addition, INPO conducts evaluations of nuclear power plant operations to aid in identifying areas in which improvements can be made. Assisting members in developing and maintaining high quality effective training programs represents another INPO responsibility. The Institute also aids nuclear utilities in developing and maintaining effective radiological protection and chemistry programs and emergency response capabilities.
