Synopsis
The near meltdown in 1979 at Three Mile Island plunged the nuclear power industry into a crisis of confidence that threatened its existence. This study shows the reader how the industry managed to save itself through a transformation in the safety standards, operation and management of nuclear facilities in America. Rees provides a picture of the state of nuclear safety before disaster shook the industry into action. He documents the emergence of an industry group - the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations - and reveals how this industry organization became a major force behind improvements in nuclear safety. In the account of INPO's beginnings and its functions, industry self-regulation is examined. For Rees, what happened for the nuclear power industry suggests a newly developed form of regulation, communitarian regulation, that has implications for the role of private and public control of other industries.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Third Printing [stated]. xii, 238, [6] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Notes. Index. Rees offers the first in-depth account of the extraordinary transformation in the safety standards, operations, and management of the nation's nuclear facilities spurred by the accident at Three Mile Island. Detailing the surprising success of self-regulation within the nuclear industry, his book reveals the possibilities for effective communitarian action. The near meltdown in 1979 at Three Mile Island, America, plunged the nuclear power industry into a crisis of confidence that threatened its very existence. This work analyzes how the industry managed to stabilize itself through a complete transformation in the safety standards, operation and management of nuclear facilities in America. After describing the poor quality of safety before disaster shook the industry into action, the book documents the emergence of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) and reveals how this industry organization became a major force behind improvements in nuclear safety. In his account of INPO's beginnings and its functions, the author shows how, contrary to conventional wisdom, industry self-regulation can be remarkably effective. For Rees, what happened for the nuclear power industry suggests a new form of regulation - communitarian regulation - that has important implications for the role of private and public control of other key industries.
