Our vast repository of 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 quantitative and qualitative 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 purpose-built for members, 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 strategic views into KPIs without having to take on the complexities of building their own data feeds and reporting tools.

Through a robust framework of event reports, in-depth analyses, best practices reports, operating standards and other strategic deliverables, we provide members with clear direction and concrete recommendations to support their safe and reliable operations. Members agree to implement those standards and to support fellow members in implementing them.

INPO experts work with members as trusted advisors and collaborators, and all interactions and assessment are held in strict confidence.

Members benefit from numerous community-building and networking opportunities, such as these:

The nuclear industry relies on an extremely talented, uniquely skilled workforce to operate safely and reliably. 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 operator knowledge and skills. This widely respected program is the only independent means recognized by the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) as meeting industry training requirements.

Emerging and seasoned nuclear leaders must be prepared to take on both known and unforeseen operational, organizational and culture 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 designed to cultivate the skills required by first-line supervisors up through boards of directors. Both inside and outside of specific coursework, our instructors serve as mentors, sharing extensive industry experience, relevant real-life examples, and personalized insight to equip leaders for the present and the future.

Whether it’s potential business partners, investors, shareholders, insurers or regulators, membership in INPO is a clear declaration of willingness to collaborate with other members of the commercial nuclear industry and your commitment to excellence in safety and continuous improvement.

INPO serves as a unifying body for the industry. In this role, we connect members, lead collective solutions to tough challenges, and facilitate support and collaboration across operators and suppliers. This can be particularly powerful as new opportunities and new challenges arise in areas like training, supply chain, and operating events as the industry continues to evolve. Our members formally commit to collaboration with members and to transparency with INPO, ensuring members benefit from one another’s experience and that no member is ever alone or marginalized when the unexpected occurs.
