Product Group:
Safety & Performance
The product group S&P undertakes research and consultancy into the optimization of the operation of (nuclear) facilities, in terms of safety, efficiency and reliability.
The group is a merger of the former 'Plant Performance & Technology' (PPT) group and the inservice inspection branch of NRG-MMI. Due to the current reorganisation, some pages may feature the name 'PPT' where it should read S&P.
