Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

With increased focus on equipment reliability, the quality of the parts used to maintain equipment is in the crosshairs of the regulators and INPO. Several utilities have implemented parts quality initiatives (PQI) and others are just now at the beginning of the journey. Hear from your industry peers on the challenges they have faced implementing PQI and how they are setting it up to be sustainable for the future.
