The legacy of Windscale Pile No. 1
The core of Pile No. 1 at Windscale caught fire in the fall of 1957. The incident, rated a level 5, “Accident with Wider Consequences,” by the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES), has since inspired nuclear safety culture, risk assessment, accident modeling, and emergency preparedness. Windscale also helped show how important communication and transparency are to gaining trust and public support.

This panel will discuss what organizations should consider when planning work digitalization efforts. Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities. Digitalization is the use of information to optimize work processes, and it is the process of moving to a digital business. Work Digitalization is the integration of people, processes, and digital technologies to further improve effectiveness, cost-competitiveness, and safety. In this panel session, we highlight progress on a program of research focused on providing the industry with the what, why, and how of work digitalization.
