​The LWRS ION program has generated cost/benefit business cases for 30+ work enhancement opportunities within the nuclear industry. These opportunities are built from the concept that maximizing the use of data, analytics, collaboration, and communication using advanced technologies can transform how plants are operated and maintained. These concepts are based on the Integrated Operations model demonstrated by Norwegian North Sea Oil and Gas industries.

Parallels between nuclear power and oil & gas will be presented, focusing on empowering people to communicate and collaborate using modern technology. ION, when adopted, provides tools for continuous improvement and achieving organizational objectives. By combining small successes with long-term goals, the nuclear industry can become a self-sustaining resource for excellence in power generation.

As the nuclear industry moves towards more advanced, sustainable, and innovative systems, understanding the scope and implementation of ION is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. This session is tailored for innovation leaders who are developing long-term sustainable solutions, seeking to improve nuclear power cost competitiveness, and creating a more attractive environment for the future nuclear workforce.
