Gain the competitive intelligence you need to make the best business 

decisions. Energy Central's Operating Plant Experience Code (OPEC) is a 

must for all aspects of analyzing nuclear power plant performance. If 

you need to identify or compare trends of lost generation, OPEC can help.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to identify causes of poor performance? 

OPEC can be used to set performance criteria at the system, component, 

or unit level. Don't delay! Download a free trial version of OPEC today
