The TIP awards are open to individuals and teams from all NEI member utilities that have created and implemented transferable new practices—or significantly improved processes and equipment—within the past three years. Entrant must be a member of NEI and a commercial reactor site license holder at either an operating or decommissioning site. There is no limit to the number of entries that may be submitted. Industry suppliers interested in entering are encouraged to do so through their utility clients.
The awards are sponsored by Framatome, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Westinghouse, Westinghouse-Combustion Engineering and NEI.
To be considered for a TIP Award, the new process or practice can come from any area of utility operations including, but not limited to, improvements in plant operations, plant support, communications and outreach, or innovative business practices. The process or practice must have already been implemented and address innovation, safety, cost-savings impact, productivity and efficiency, transferability, communications, or vision and leadership.
