Institute of Nuclear Power Operations
- Institute of Nuclear Power Operations
The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) is an organization established by the U.S. nuclear power industry in response to recommendations by the Kemeny Commission Report, following the investigation of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 event. INPO sets performance objectives, criteria, and guidelines industry-wide for nuclear power plant operations, and is intended to promote operational excellence and improve the sharing of operational experience between nuclear power plants. INPO is funded entirely by the U.S. nuclear industry.
INPO conducts plant evaluations at nuclear sites and identifies both strengths and areas for improvement which are intended to be shared with other nuclear sites as a method to share best practices and common weaknesses. The results of INPO plant evaluations are not shared with the public, and any related information shared within the nuclear industry does not typically include the name of the plant. INPO assigns a score between one and five to each nuclear site following the evaluation, where an "INPO 1" is the most favorable score, and an "INPO 5" is an indicator of a nuclear site with significant operational problems.
