ISM at the Savannah River Site

1. ISM at the Savannah River Site Department of Energy Best Practices Workshop Configuration Management Rich Salizzoni, Manager Engineering Standards Department Washington Savannah River Company September 12-13, 2006 Within the last 15 years the nuclear industry has done a good job in implementing what is known as Human Performance. And as many in here know, many of these utilities have demonstrated dramatic improvements in performance resulting from these initiatives. As a result, many facilities here at Savannah River have developed programs intended on implementing Human Performance initiatives modeled after the commercial nuclear industry. And while I don�t know this for a fact, I suspect that these facilities have seen similar improvements in performance. And so Human Performance is not new at SRS. Many of you have implemented Human Performance programs and could easily be up here presenting. What is new is the fact that the Site is ready to take Human Performance on and integrate it with many of our existing systems. The Site is ready to embrace the HP concepts and values and institutionalize them into our culture. So let me briefly explain what Human Performance is and then describe what the Site will do over the next several months� Within the last 15 years the nuclear industry has done a good job in implementing what is known as Human Performance.
