Question #1: License ExtensionWe demonstrate a high degree of efficiency when pursuing license extensions that results in minimal compliance costs, compressed licensing approval timelines, and minimal organizational resources.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We work with a single OEM that has the capability to address all aspects of licensing compliance, resulting in negligible duplication of work and minimal complications. We engage a partner who has the expertise to anticipate and preempt costly additional requests for information. We meet all required deadlines, moving the licensing process along efficiently. Question #2: Plant Asset ManagementWe engage in proactive and comprehensive asset management planning that results in minimized outages, failures, and replacement costs.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: Our asset management process allows our plant(s) to identify and bypass unnecessary cleanings, inspections, and maintenance. Our asset management maintenance schedules materially extend the life of essential plant assets, minimizing the need for replacement. We work closely with an OEM to plan for the management of traditional assets in order to benefit from cost and operational synergies. Question #3: Performance ImprovementOur nuclear plants are consistently able to operate in a profitable manner due to strategic identification and implementation of performance improving investments.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: Our planning process identifies supplementary investments that complement and enhance required regulatory compliance and outage optimization investments. We incorporate global best practices to ensure that we are most effectively allocating spend when forming a strategic investment plan. We ensure plant longevity is not undermined by short-term incentives when making plant investment decisions. Question #4: DigitalizationWe engage in a comprehensive digitalization program that allows us to fully realize the benefits of digital assets we already have while continually identifying and integrating next-generation technology.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We fully integrate, derive advanced decision-making insights from, and action the data collected from our plant assets. We harness the abilities of digital experts to build a digital roadmap, operationalize digital advances, and derive insights from our data. We put timelines and benchmarks in place for the continual integration of digital sensors, data collection capabilities, and analytical tools. Question #5: Workforce ManagementOur workforce is optimized with a mix of centralized resources, outsourcing, and digital processes that enable economies of scale and eliminate unnecessary activities.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We supplement internal expertise with cost-effective outsourced resources that provide forward-looking, cross-plant, and OEM expertise. We utilize digital automation systems, processes, and tools that reduce manual efforts and focus human capital on more complex, mission-critical endeavors. We engage in continual digital training of our employees to optimize evolving plant operations. Question #6: Integrated ApproachOur organization works across silos to incorporate data and decision-making that enables enhanced strategic investments for long-term (20+ years) benefits.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We utilize a collaborative long-term planning steering committee that capitalizes on internal and external SME expertise. We bundle and plan implementations in a manner that allows our organization to save on duplicated safety and condition analysis. We employ robust planning techniques that weigh alternative investments across various divisions to optimize ROI and plant life. Our executive team has a view across all divisions that incorporates or deprioritizes plant pet projects strategically. Question #7: Obsolescence ManagementOur organization employs a proactive obsolescence management program that allows us to effectively anticipate, act on, and reduce obsolescence risks.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We utilize predictive data to determine obsolescence risk rather than rely on historical data modeling. Our obsolescence management program allows our organization to effectively order the right parts at the right time, reducing the overall cost of ownership and avoiding outages due to parts shortages. Our capabilities are advancing such that we anticipate asset obsolescence risks to eventually no longer be an organizational challenge. Question #8: InnovationWe continually identify, prioritize, and strategically implement innovations in the industry that further our organizational objectives.*Strongly DisagreeDisagreeSlightly DisagreeNeutralSlightly AgreeAgreeStrongly AgreeBest Practice Benchmarks: We have a broad and informed view of emerging technologies that can be applied to our plants (e.g., digitalization, 3D printing, and drones). We regularly analyze the ROI of potential technology innovation investments. We engage in innovative co-creation with partners to advance plant operations, improve performance, and gain additional income streams from royalties.
