Nuclear DeltaWhat is the “Nuclear Delta”?:
•Nuclear safety culture
•Quality
•Security
What is the “Nuclear Delta”?:Nuclear safety culture:
•Understanding
•Behavioural
•Personal commitment
What is the “Nuclear Delta”?:Quality:
•Right first time culture
•Demonstrable SQEP
•Robust design audit trail
What is the “Nuclear Delta”?:Security:
•Awareness
•Behavioural
•Robust physical and IT systems
SQEP Assessment & Team TrainingSQEP Matrix
•Academic and professional qualifications
•Years experience
•Skills assessment
• Maintained by Technical Manager
• Developed in consultation with client
• Specific SQEP register
• Nuclear and project specific training
Quality: The Journey to Excellence• Quality = long term nuclear safety
• Quality must be demonstrable for both approvals and Confidence
• Understanding the safety case drivers
Productivity: Nuclear Lessons LearnedEngineering the Future
•Based on recent major nuclear new build projects
•Identified five areas for analysis
Principal Recommendations
•Focus on pre-placement QA
•Integrated design & construction programme
•Focus on training throughout team

Safety is ParamountOur Safety Training Programme• The health, safety and welfare of employees,
clients and third parties are of prime importance
• Health and safety systems accredited to OHSAS 18001:1999 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
• Systems have to be mature - focus on behavioural safety
• What am I about to do?
• What could go wrong?
• What could be done to make it safer?
• What have I done to communicate the hazards?

Security
17
Security Training, Awareness and Staff CulturePrimary means of preventing breaches of security:• Training, awareness, vigilance and culture
• ‘Need to know’ principle
Nuclear staff need security clearance and security induction training which provides:• A detailed understanding of the security measures in place
• A detailed understanding of the individuals own responsibility
• An overview of the UK’s:• Official Secrets Act
• Anti-Terrorism Act
• Crime and Securities Act
• Nuclear security industry regulations

Confidence
19
Confidence: Comprehensive Quality SystemsQuality at the design and detailing stage has a major impact on overall project delivery quality, having a critical influence in the following areas:• Ease, speed and cost of construction
• Third party and Regulator approvals
• Regulator confidence
Accreditation should include:• ISO 9001: Quality standard appropriate to services
• ISO 14001: Environmental management
• ISO 18001: Occupational health and safety
