Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. Commercial fusion electrical energy generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY If you want nuclear energy, opt for the cleaner and safer option of FUSION. Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage in 100 or 80 years is increasingly real, as stated in recent UN documents and linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Creating a Zero Incident Culture: Insights from the High Reliability Group In the pursuit of Process Safety and Operational Excellence, industries often turn inward, referencing "Industry Best Practices" while overlooking valuable lessons from other high-risk sectors. A standout example is the U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP), which has maintained a ZERO incident record over its 65+ year history. This exemplary safety performance is not accidental; it is the result of rigorous leadership, continuous learning, and a deep commitment to operational integrity. At High Reliability Group (HRG), we draw on this unparalleled record to help organizations achieve extreme operational excellence. Here are five key organizational behaviors that set the NNPP and other High Reliability Organizations (HROs) apart: 1. Develop Leaders Today for Tomorrow: Invest in leadership development to ensure future success. 2. Do Everything with Honesty and Integrity: Maintain high ethical standards in all operations. 3. Learn and Teach: Foster a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing. 4. Strive for Excellence: Always aim for the highest standards in performance. 5. Hunt for Ways to Get Better: Constantly seek improvements and innovations. Rickover's leadership principles, which include rigorous training and unwavering commitment to safety, are integral to creating a Zero Incident Culture. The Nuclear Work Model, which emphasizes procedures, training, and supervision, ensures that operations are conducted safely and efficiently. This model can be adapted to any organization dealing with complex and high-risk environments. Creating and sustaining a Zero Incident Culture is not just about setting lofty goals; it's about providing the support, training, and leadership necessary to achieve those goals. At HRG, we help organizations implement these principles to transform their culture and achieve remarkable safety and operational performance. If you're ready to elevate your organization's safety and operational standards to the level of the U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program, connect with us at HRG. Let's work together to build a safer, more reliable future. #HighReliability #ZeroIncidentCulture #OperationalExcellence #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement For more insights on operational excellence and creating a high reliability organization, reach out to our team. Together, we can achieve extraordinary operational results by developing a culture of high reliability.

Collaboration & "cross-fertilization" with professionals from other high-consequence industries provides insights and epiphanies that can't be had by only looking inward at so-called "industry best practice" (i.e., "navel gazing"). The U.S. Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP) has created the singularly most reliable and SAFE organization known, having achieved and maintained a record of ZERO (releases & exposures) for it's entire 75+ year history! The #ProcessIndustries could learn a lot from this organization. The High Reliability Group LLC's mission is to bring the practices that have made the NNPP so successful to industries and organizations so that they, too, may achieve the ever elusive goal of Zero. #ProcessSafety #OperationalExcellence #SafetyCulture

DoD is taking positive steps with programs like the newly announced Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) that seeks to engage industry in specific key technology sectors. It seems simple enough to join -- you'll need a Joint Certification Program (DD2345) certification, but this is easy to get -- and participants will get access to contracts for research and prototyping. Current tech sectors are: Kinetic capabilities (i.e., hypersonics) Energy storage and batteries Castings and forgings Microelectronics Critical chemicals and minerals Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Rare Earth Elements (REEs) Critical materials Submarine industrial base Space industrial base Biomanufacturing #defenseindustry #defensetech #defenseinnovation https://lnkd.in/dymJtRsY

The collaboration between Raytheon and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) represents a significant step forward in the development of an interconnected network of energy systems. This joint effort, fueled by a substantial $10 million contract, not only showcases the impressive technological capabilities of these organizations but also ushers in a new era of defence strategies focused on energy. This partnership has the potential to revolutionize the way energy is utilized and harnessed for defence purposes. #EnergyInnovation #DefenseAdvancement

HRO Memo of the Day: Follow the process... In most companies, when there is an incident, the leadership automatically starts drawing conclusions based on their experience. They want to show they understand what is going on and they are going to take care of it. They do all this before they even go through the process of determining fully what really happened. The process we used in the Nuclear Navy to determine what happened is called the Critique process. It is a process where we came together to gather the facts, the timeline, the decision points, the communications and the problems. We tried to leave our biases at the door. We tried not to let leaders jump to conclusions. We wanted to let the process draw out the facts from the people who were involved. By doing it this way, we usually learned so much more about the processes, the decisions, the communications, etc. We also avoided "confirmation bias" by senior leaders who think they have seen it all before. So my message today...use a process like the Critique method explained in Chapter 7 & 8 of our book Extreme Operational Excellence or Taproot which is an even better and more thorough method (created by a Navy Nuke, Mark Paradies) to ensure you avoid confirmation bias and really learn what is going on in your organization. Only then will you be able to tackle the true organizational root causes and strive to become a High Reliability Organization. #highreliabilityorganization #rootcauseanalysis #operationalexcellence
