Fighting fatigue and maintaining 10 CFR Part 26 compliance
Fatigue has been identified as a major risk factor in industrial accidents. According to the National Safety Council, 13 percent of workplace injuries can be attributed to fatigue.1 Other research indicates that working 12 hours per day is associated with a staggering 37 percent increase in risk of injury.2 Considering fatigue was a contributing factor to major nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, it makes sense that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission imposes hefty fines to ensure strict adherence to its fatigue management regulations—particularly, Code of Federal Regulations Title 10, Part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs.”

Session Chair:
Evan Gonzalez (Lawrence Livermore National Lab)
Panelists for this session will share their perspectives on the state of environmental justice efforts in nuclear siting. With representation from a range of viewpoints (academic researchers, government agencies, think tanks, and affected peoples), we hope to provide various frames of our industry’s progress towards enabling just and equitable nuclear facility siting. Along the way, we will be asking the questions: What does an environmentally-just siting process look like? What strategies are working towards getting us there? How do we know we’re making progress? Where are our biggest gaps as nuclear professionals?
