Book Reviews of Hostages of Each Other: The Transformation of Nuclear Safety since Three Mile Island
Book Review: Insight into INPO
Summary: 5 Stars
This book shows that in that in high hazard industries there is can be a big advantage in a strong industry body (in this case by revealing the workings of the the secretive Institute for Nuclear Power Operations [INPO]) over a weak regulator (in this case the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission [NRC]) if the industry has the will to achieve outstanding safety. With new nuclear power stations on the cards for the UK this is well worth reading.
