Solve Tough Problems
Most SeaState clients are in the electric energy business. Many of them operate nuclear power plants. When a problem occurs at one of these stations it is critical to Fix-It-Once®
Look closely at nuclear power's U.S. performance record in the table below.
Real men and women - not some elite cadre of physicists - run these facilities. People like you and me are responsible for every improvement. They work like people at most other industrial or technical complexes. Operators monitor processes and make adjustments. Technicians perform preventive and corrective maintenance. Engineers modify and improve facilities. Supervisors plan, lead, coach, and correct. Managers assess risks and make financial, schedule, training, and personnel decisions.
Here's what nuclear power people have accomplished in two and a half decades of self improvement:

These people do their jobs very well. Their results don't come from luck or Federal regulation. They succeed by solving problems aggressively and by learning from experience. They are role models to follow. They use the principles embodied in Fix-It-Once®.
