INPO serves as a unifying body for the industry. We connect members, lead collective solutions to tough challenges, and facilitate support and collaboration across operators, suppliers and other stakeholders. This can be particularly powerful as new opportunities and new challenges arise in areas like training, supply chain and operating performance.

Members benefit from numerous community-building and networking opportunities. These include highly engaged industry working groups and communities of practice and advisory boards that give you an opportunity to shape INPO strategy and the future of the industry

Members also benefit from talent loanee programs that foster knowledge sharing and skill building across INPO and members, and help members fill temporary gaps in technical skills or leadership roles

They are also invited to member-only conferences and events such as our annual CEO Conference and other gatherings for executives and technical managers

We continually innovate to make sure our standards are contemporary and effective for members. Through a robust framework of detailed analyses, best practices reports, operating standards and other guidance, we provide members with clear guidance and concrete recommendations to support their safe and reliable operations. Members agree to implement those standards and to support fellow members in executing them.

Among the many topic areas where we provide guidance to members:

• Nuclear safety culture

• Performance improvement

• Plant reliability

• Leadership and organizational effectiveness

• Equipment issues and advancements

• Talent management

• Risk assessment

• Physical plant and organizational resiliency

• Emergency response

• Radiation protection and chemistry

• Event-related communications

• Teaching and learning

• Crucial behavior fundamentals in key areas such as operations and maintenance

Our industry data and staff experience spans thousands of cumulative years of different reactor designs, construction and operations experience. We provide members with historical and real-time industry performance data and predictive models that help members benchmark projects and performance across numerous dimensions of safety and reliability.

This data is delivered to members in strategically meaningful views using INPO proprietary technologies and enhancing members’ ability to make data-driven decisions.

Additionally, the ongoing investments INPO makes in technology development mean that members benefit from advanced analytics and member-contributed data without having to take on the complexities of building their own data feeds and reporting tools.

Emerging and seasoned nuclear leaders must be prepared to take on both known and unforeseen challenges as they strive to meet regulatory requirements, achieve sustained excellence in safety, and create adaptive, resilient organizations.

INPO offers in-person and online training as well as an active loaned employee program designed to cultivate the skills required by first-line supervisors up through boards of directors.

Both inside and outside of coursework, our instructors serve as mentors, sharing extensive industry experience, real-life examples, and personalized insight to equip leaders for the present and the future.

Accreditation of training programs through the INPO-administered National Academy for Nuclear Training (NANT) and the independent National Nuclear Accrediting Board ensures initial and continuing education programs build and refresh knowledge and skills within the workforce.

This widely respected program is the only independent means recognized by the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) as meeting regulatory training requirements for operators, maintenance craftworkers and technical personnel.
