This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s nuclear energy industry is in decline. Low natural gas prices, financing hurdles, failure to find a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste, reactions to the Fukushima accident in Japan, and other factors are hastening the day when existing U.S. reactors become uneconomic. The decline of the U.S. nuclear energy industry could be much more rapid than policy makers and stakeholders anticipate. China, India, Russia, and others plan on adding nuclear technology to their mix, furthering the spread of nuclear materials around the globe. U.S. companies must meet a significant share of this demand for nuclear technology, but U.S. firms are currently at a competitive disadvantage due to restrictive and otherwise unsupportive export policies. Without a strong commercial presence in new markets, America’s ability to influence nonproliferation policies and nuclear safety behaviors worldwide is bound to diminish. The United States cannot afford to become irrelevant in a new nuclear age.

Book excerpt: The nuclear industry has quietly evolved over the past 30 years to become one of the safest and most reliable low-cost producers of electricity. Mary Jo Rogers's new book, Nuclear Energy Leadership: Lessons Learned from US Operators, provides helpful suggestions as well as useful tools drawn from the best of the nuclear industry. This timely book illustrates with convincing detail and relevant case studies how the lessons from the best nuclear operators can be applied to nonnuclear operations-based organizations to markedly improve production and safety performance. The author draws from a research database on nuclear leaders, supervisors, senior leadership teams and organizations, interviews with numerous nuclear leaders, as well as extensive personal experience assisting in nuclear power plant turnarounds. With increased pressure on cost of production for fossil generation and oil and gas, readers from the energy and utility industries would greatly benefit from the lessons learned by excellent nuclear operators.

This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is at risk of finding its nuclear weapons capabilities severely weakened by the absence of an available capability to enrich uranium. International legal obligations prohibit the United States from using, for military purposes, foreign-produced enriched uranium or uranium enriched here in this country by foreign-source technology. Efforts to deploy a next-generation American enrichment technology must succeed so that our nation has the ability to address the forthcoming shortage of this strategic material. This national security requirement could be met with little cost to taxpayers if the federal government implemented policies that ensure a strong U.S. enrichment industry.

This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how the United States manages its still-powerful nuclear arsenal Arms control agreements and the end of the Cold War have made the prospect of nuclear war a distant fear for the general public. But the United States and its principal rivals—China and Russia—still maintain sizable arsenals of nuclear weapons, along with the systems for managing them and using them if that terrible day ever comes. Managing U.S. Nuclear Operations in the 21st Century focuses on how theories and policies are put into practice in managing nuclear forces in the United States. It addresses such questions as: What have been the guiding priorities of U.S. nuclear strategy since the end of the Cold War? What nuclear attack options would the president have during a war? How are these war plans developed and reviewed by civilian and military leaders? How would presidential orders be conveyed to the uniformed men and women who are entrusted with U.S. nuclear weapons systems? And are these communications systems and supporting capabilities vulnerable to disruption or attack? The answers to such questions depend on the process by which national strategy for nuclear deterrence, developed by civilian leaders, is converted into nuclear war plans and the entire range of procedures for implementing those plans if necessary. The chapter authors have extensive experience in government, the armed forces, and the analytic community. Drawing on their firsthand knowledge, as well as the public record, they provide unique, authoritative accounts of how the United States manages it nuclear forces today. This book will be of interest to the national security community, particularly younger experts who did not grow up in the nuclear-centric milieu of the Cold War. Any national security analyst, professional, or government staffer seeking to learn more about nuclear modernization policy and the U.S. nuclear arsenal should be interested in this book. It should also be of interest to professors and students who want a deep understanding of U.S. nuclear policy.

Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal Bestseller From the acclaimed author of Turn the Ship Around!, former US Navy Captain David Marquet, comes a radical new playbook for empowering your team to make better decisions and take greater ownership. You might imagine that an effective leader is someone who makes quick, intelligent decisions, gives inspiring speeches, and issues clear orders to their team so they can execute a plan to achieve your organization's goals. Unfortunately, David Marquet argues, that's an outdated model of leadership that just doesn't work anymore. As a leader in today's networked, information-dense business climate, you don't have full visibility into your organization or the ground reality of your operating environment. In order to harness the eyes, ears, and minds of your people, you need to foster a climate of collaborative experimentation that encourages people to speak up when they notice problems and work together to identify and test solutions. Too many leaders fall in love with the sound of their own voice, and wind up dictating plans and digging in their heels when problems begin to emerge. Even when you want to be a more collaborative leader, you can undermine your own efforts by defaulting to command-and-control language we've inherited from the industrial era. It's time to ditch the industrial age playbook of leadership. In Leadership is Language, you'll learn how choosing your words can dramatically improve decision-making and execution on your team. Marquet outlines six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language: • Control the clock, don't obey the clock: Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan of action if they notice something wrong. • Collaborate, don't coerce: As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Rather than locking your team into binary responses ("Is this a good plan?"), allow them to answer on a scale ("How confident are you about this plan?") • Commit, don't comply: Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time. • Complete, not continue: If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you're doing something wrong. Articulate concrete plans with a start and end date to align your team. • Improve, don't prove: Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines. You'll face fewer cut corners and better long-term results. • Connect, don't conform: Flatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making. In his last book, Turn the Ship Around!, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with Leadership is Language he gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the Tide is a leadership book that illustrates how Adm. Hyman Rickover made a unique impact on American and Navy culture. Dave Oliver is the first former nuclear submarine commander who sailed for the venerable admiral to write about Rickover’s management techniques. Oliver draws upon a wealth of untold stories to show how one man changed American and Navy culture while altering the course of history. The driving force behind America’s nuclear submarine navy, Rickover revolutionized naval warfare while concurrently proving to be a wellspring of innovation that drove American technology in the latter half of the twentieth-century. As a testament to his success, Rickover’s single-minded focus on safety protected both American citizens and sailors from nuclear contamination, a record that is in stark contrast to the dozens of nuclear reactor accidents suffered by the Russians. While Rickover has been the subject of a number of biographies, little has been written about his unique management practices that changed the culture of a two-hundred-year-old institution and affected the outcome of the Cold War. Rickover’s achievements have been obscured because they were largely conducted in secret and because he possessed a demanding and abrasive personality that alienated many potential supporters. Nevertheless he was an extraordinary manager with significant lessons for all those in decision-making positions. The author had the good fortune to know and to serve under Rickover during much of his thirty-year career in the Navy and is singularly qualified to demonstrate the management and leadership principles behind Rickover’s success.

Book excerpt: "Understanding the nuclear mindset of America’s national leadership is important for nuclear strategists and policymakers. While there is an abundance of scholarship suggesting how the president and his advisors should think regarding nuclear matters, the scholarship on how they have historically thought is less dense. The author first surveys the writings of some of the most influential nuclear scholars to lay a foundation for the need for historical analysis of leadership’s nuclear mindset. Next, by reviewing the thinking of the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, he provides insight into how the NSC actually thinks in terms of nuclear war. He reviews historical evidence related to the first US nuclear single integrated operational plan, SIOP-62, as well as the Cuban Missile Crisis to compare the mindset of national leaders during times of peace and crisis. Using recently declassified sources the author analyzes the different levels of consequences – operational through international – that concerned leadership at these times. The analysis concludes that in times of relative calm, leaders had the time and space to explore areas outside their traditional roles of foreign policy, international politics, and geopolitical relations. During these times, national leaders even dabbled in operational-level concerns. On the other hand, in times of crisis, the mindset of leaders reflected the traditional thinking of their position with an emphasis on international policy. That is to say, when faced with an urgent need for decision-making, national leadership resorted to a geopolitical mindset. In short, the saying where you stand is where you sit expands to include the concept that where you stand is also based on when you are asked to stand."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: For the first several thousand years of written history, humankind submitted to a variety of emperors, rulers, kings, czars, and dictators. While political empires are far less common today, this imperial leadership mindset is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche. Our workplaces remain filled with miniature Napoleons and Hirohitos wielding supreme power over their subordinates through Authoritarian, Totalitarian, Overbearing, and Micromanaging (ATOM) Leadership practices. While effective to an extent, emperors have never been able to unlock the full potential of their kingdoms. An empire will only survive until a weak leader assumes the throne, and the kingdom falls.Fortunately, World War II taught us a new way to defeat imperial, ATOM Leaders. The nuclear weapons that forced the Japanese empire to capitulate have changed everything we know about warfare, politics, and diplomacy. These weapons harness the power of the very atoms that make up the essence of our world. Similarly, defeating our workplace ATOM Leaders requires harnessing the power of an abundant natural resource: human ideas. Like the neutrons in an atomic bomb, the precise application of Nuclear Leadership enables an explosive chain reaction of ideas, the ultimate weapon for overthrowing a dictatorship. Twenty-First Century organizations achieve success by generating higher quality ideas with greater efficiency and in larger quantities than their competitors generate, but our natural ATOM Leadership tendencies hinder innovation. To split the ATOM, we need Nuclear Leaders who are fully aware of both their strengths and their limitations, and who maximize the talent of those around them. We need Nuclear Leaders who recognize the value of all team members in the chain reaction and take proactive steps to ensure their teammates feel respected and valued. And we need Nuclear Leaders who make their workplaces a safe, fun-loving space, while continuously offering opportunities for their teammates to grow. The philosophical shift resulting from splitting the ATOM enables ideas to ignite a chain reaction that not only shatters a company's barriers but also has the power to change the world.M. D. Omaha has spent over a decade in leadership positions charged with conducting Intercontinental Ballistic Missile operations. Under the cold Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota ground, M. D. Omaha has meticulously prepared himself and others for a battle we hope never takes place. These moments of solitude and reflection have shaped his thoughts on leadership and led to one inescapable conclusion: to succeed in the modern era, organizations must overcome our natural ATOM tendencies and instead equip our teams to take a new approach to leadership--Nuclear Leadership.

Book excerpt: Concern about the threat posed by nuclear weapons has preoccupied the United States and presidents of the United States since the beginning of the nuclear era. Nuclear Security draws from papers presented at the 2013 meeting of the American Nuclear Society examining worldwide efforts to control nuclear weapons and ensure the safety of the nuclear enterprise of weapons and reactors against catastrophic accidents. The distinguished contributors, all known for their long-standing interest in getting better control of the threats posed by nuclear weapons and reactors, discuss what we can learn from past successes and failures and attempt to identify the key ingredients for a road ahead that can lead us toward a world free of nuclear weapons. The authors review historical efforts to deal with the challenge of nuclear weapons, with a focus on the momentous arms control negotiations between U.S. president Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. They offer specific recommendations for reducing risks that should be adopted by the nuclear enterprise, both military and civilian, in the United States and abroad. Since the risks posed by the nuclear enterprise are so high, they conclude, no reasonable effort should be spared to ensure safety and security.
