The nuclear electric utility industry created the Institute of
Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) in 1979. INPO's mission is to promote
the highest levels of safety and reliability - to promote excellence -
in the operation of nuclear electric generating plants. All US
organisations that operate commercial nuclear power plants are members
of INPO while nuclear operating organisations in other countries and
nuclear steam supply systems, architect/engineering and construction
firms are INPO participants.

| The National Academy for Nuclear Training, which operates under the
auspices of the INPO, embodies the US commercial nuclear utility
industry's commitment to high quality training and professionalism. The
academy integrates the training-related efforts of nuclear utilities,
the Independent National Nuclear Accrediting Board and INPO. |

Nuclear Operators (WANO). Formed in 1989, WANO unites every commercial
nuclear power plant operator in the world with members from 32 countries
currently operating some 435 reactors. |
