Commercial Nuclear Supply-Chain to be Challenged Soon

Posted by Paul Gladieux - Thursday, March 01, 2007

A milestone for the U.S. nuclear supply-chain today involves the contract for four Westinghouse AP1000 reactor systems. Even though the reactors are for plants in China, it’s expected U.S. suppliers will agressively pursue lucrative purchase orders & contracts.

“The Challenge” > Can the various tiers of suppliers truly align their quality management systems to meet the performance requirements for nuclear safety-related products & services or will certain requirements “get lost in translation” ?

Having possed this question, we at GQM hope to receive comments for this most important industry performance issue.
