COMMISSIONER OSTENDORFF: Let me add one,<br />
just one, comparison outside the commercial nuclear industry that is a<br />

In 1980, my second submarine is a new construction<br />
submarine, the USS ATLANTA, being built in the Newport News<br />
Shipyard. That was, I think, the 23rd or the 24th submarine to be built<br />
in the Los Angeles attack submarine class. So, there were 23<br />
predecessors before I got to this submarine.<br />
I was a member of the Joint Test Group. Every week I<br />
had a meeting with Naval Reactors, with the Shipyard, the Supervisor<br />
of Shipbuilding, and with the capital representatives to discuss changes<br />
during construction. And this was the 24th, 23rd or 24th submarine<br />
being built of the same design.<br />

of life.<br />

was it the question, how do we assess successes within our knowledge<br />
management activities?<br />
