The U.S. Nuclear Deterrent is Essential Deters threats from weapons of mass destruction Assures our allies of their security Dissuades potential adversaries from threatening U.S. interests Defeats potential adversaries if not deterred
Value of U.S. Nuclear Deterrent isn’t the number of warheads but the credibility of our capabilities in the minds of those we seek to deter, dissuade, or assure
To achieve its psychological and political objectives, deterrence requires nuclear capabilities to be visible and credible

Its what DOE sites are supposed to do We profess that we can operate in a safe environment by
following procedures
HROs are proactive – not reactive Focus on improving the external environment –not
waiting to fix the bad response to the environment (unhealthy safety culture)
Get out in front of the schedule to avoid becoming a victim to it
An integral part of high reliability is understanding organizational culture
What it does for you - strengths What it does to you - inhibitors
If you proactively fix the environment –production will increase, safety/security/quality will improve and the culture will be healthy

HRO Definition:An organization that repeatedly accomplishes its high hazard mission while avoiding catastrophic events, despite significant hazards, dynamic tasks, time constraints, and complex technologies.

Leaders set the stage as to the expectations of work performance (good or bad) and most employees will strive to meet or exceed those expectations. If management allows a standard of silence by not addressing safety, security or quality issues, then they set a less than adequate safety, security or quality culture. However, a true leader will reinforce good practices and/or coach/mentor poor practices, they set high standards of expected work and behaviors in the work environment.

Leadership is one of the key attributes of a successful HRO. Without key senior leadership driving toward an HRO, change will never occur within an organization. Safety, Security and Quality are leadership objectives that should be shared by all levels of Management. We should be learning from our mistakes, leaning out our processes and implementing continuous process improvements throughout the organization.
