Nuclear Safety.

The article talks about the various issues and concerns regarding the implementation of the Department of Energy's (DOE) national security and environmental management programs which centers on the nuclear safety issue in the U.S. The approaches to nuclear safety work must be integrated with other requirements for safety programs designed to prevent catastrophic consequences and high-consequence accidents due to mishandling and mismanagement of nuclear safety initiatives. Furthermore, the nuclear weapons programs managed by DOE have not experienced a major system failure and that its predecessors have a long and improving safety performance record in nuclear operations. Statistics from surveys shows that the Department of Energy has a successful safety program than its other administrative agency counterparts. It is necessary to have conservative engineering of safety systems as well as social science considerations to ensure safe nuclear operations. Finally, organizations can provide added risk reduction by implementing the attributes of highly reliable organizations.
