Organizational Effectiveness – Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Site Security

The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant’s (SQN) Site Security (SS) organization to identify operational and cultural strengths and risks that could impact SQN SS’s organizational effectiveness. Our report identified strengths within SQN SS related to (1) organizational alignment, (2) teamwork, and (3) frontline management support. However, we also identified risks that could impact the effectiveness of SQN SS to achieve its responsibilities in support of the Nuclear mission. These risks included (1) ineffective senior management support related to communication, accountability, behaviors, and resources; and (2) perceptions of unethical actions.
