The Westinghouse owner's group (WOG) was chartered in 1980 to respond to US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests related to the Three Mile Island accident. Specifically, the WOG addressed safety issues identified in NUREG-0737 as they related to a Westinghouse-designed pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant. These issues were the prime focus of the WOG during its early existence. The primary objective of the WOG has remained the same since inception: to achieve mutual benefit, both technical and financial, through joint engineering, licensing, and plant operation enhancement programs. The future direction of the WOG lies in the continued utilization of the full potential of the organization in sharing technical expertise, experience, and program cost on plant issues. The overall financial savings and benefit to each utility member for the diverse programs is substantial. The WOG provides its members with a forum for technical knowledge and direction to (1) respond to regulatory issues; (2) solve plant operating problems; (3) enhance plant performance; (4) develop technical expertise; and (5) address strategic licensing issues.
