Nuclear power plants, which generate about 20% of all electricity produced in the United States, produce almost no greenhouse gas emissions. However, these systems do create radioactive waste, which can be dangerous…

Abstract Newswise — Organizations often encounter safety deviations, events that diverge from established safety standards without causing substantial harm. Despite their critical role in preventing severe safety incidents, organizational learning from safety deviations has been understudied. We propose that safety deviations lead to harmful learning due to decision-makers’ self-enhancement tendencies and normalization of these deviations,…
