Publisher's Synopsis
"Nuclear Power Operations at Electricité de France: Change and Variation Amidst Standardization" examines the French nuclear power program and its management by Electricité de France (EDF). This study explores how EDF, despite its commitment to standardization in nuclear reactor design and operation, has adapted to changing circumstances and incorporated variations in its practices. The book investigates the interplay between centralized control and decentralized adaptation within a large technological organization.
Focusing on the period from the 1970s to the early 1990s, the work analyzes EDF's approach to maintaining safety and efficiency in its nuclear power plants. It highlights the challenges and successes of managing a complex technological system, offering valuable insights into organizational behavior and energy policy. This book will be of interest to scholars and professionals in energy, technology management, and organizational studies.
