Projects start wrong more often than they go wrong. I've seen this firsthand in nuclear safety systems: Rushed decisions → Unrealistic budgets → Costly rework The solution? A slow start saves time. Here's my approach: 1. Push back on arbitrary deadlines 2. Insist on proper planning and risk assessment 3. Build in contingencies for unknowns 4. Align stakeholders on realistic expectations 5. Document assumptions and decisions Remember: Thinking is cheap. Action is expensive. What's your experience with project planning? Share below! #ProjectManagement #NuclearSafety

"A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine." These words from a mentor changed how I approach nuclear safety projects. Now, I live by the Pre-Tender FSA philosophy: 1. Pin down the scope No ambiguity, no surprises 2. Evaluate competencies Right skills, right people, right time 3. Review tenders rigorously Accuracy is non-negotiable This approach has transformed how we deliver projects. Result? Fewer emergencies, more successful outcomes.

QRA can be particularly beneficial for industries like petrochemical, nuclear, and aerospace, where even small deviations from safety standards can have far-reaching consequences. It helps in identifying critical safety-critical systems and determining the most effective risk mitigation strategies.

Think slow, act fast: The secret to nuclear project success. I've seen countless nuclear safety projects spiral out of control. The culprit? Rushing into action without proper planning. Here's how I use Pre-Tender FSA to prevent disaster: 1. Slow down at the start Invest time upfront to clarify scope and requirements 2. Build the right team first Assess skills needed, then hire or train before issues arise 3. Scrutinize every detail Review tenders meticulously to avoid under-forecasting 4. Create a robust plan Develop a realistic timeline with built-in contingencies 5. Execute with precision Once the groundwork is laid, move swiftly and confidently Result? Projects delivered on time, on budget, without compromising safety. What's your experience with planning in high-stakes projects? #NuclearSafety #ProjectManagement

Therefore, digital transformation becomes an opportunity to promote innovation and sustainable progress. Follow us for more information! #WeAreEnusa

Is your nuclear project bogged down by excessive safety measures? Over-engineering can inflate costs without enhancing safety Over-engineering safety can be as problematic as under-engineering. SIL levels are about the appropriate risk reduction, not excess. SIL 1 → 10x risk reduction SIL 2 → 100x risk reduction SIL 3 → 1000x risk reduction Each jump is significant. And costly. The key? Understand your actual risk exposure. It's not about the highest SIL. It's about the right SIL. How do you balance safety and efficiency in your projects? #FunctionalSafety #EngineeringLeadership
