The solution in the previous section provides all my thoughts and ideas as well as those from others as referenced as well. However, I do feel that this area is somewhat of a known unknown in that the Operations Technology groups at nuclear plants specifically are quite new. Their challenges are unique. They struggle with an identity crisis not knowing where they fit in. Are they ICT? Are they Plant Engineering? Can they be called Support?
These are some of the growing concerns as well as the overarching concern regarding leadership? Where do they fit in? Under a Chief Information Officer (CIO)? Or maybe a Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO)? Honestly we were reporting to both at some stage. These are very important questions and the reference made to the fact that there are not guideline documents relates to this. More research and investigation is required in these areas of concern.
Interesting insight
