Looking back there was one overriding factor that governed the nuclear power industry. The industry problems were primarily attributed to plant trips caused by individual mistakes. A look at just about all plant trips determined they could be attributed to human error. The trips are costly impacting operation, capacity factor, and creating a financial loss dependent on the type of trip and how long it could last. The immediate response it to find how the trip occurred and what caused the trip. The transmission dispatcher usually wants the Unit back on line as soon as possible; however, the site must trouble shoot to determine the seriousness of the failure and the site didn't create a new failure type. Troubleshooting can take some time in determining the root cause, implementing engineering controls or admin controls to ensure the event is not duplicated. This process created the following curiosity. How does an imperfect creature (such as me) allow himself to be molded such that he cannot create a mistake. He is self-sufficient. Take this to the next order and the idea is how do you go from a 'perfect" individual to a "perfect" society. For our purposes (the word "perfect") translates to complete.
From these two (2) basic questions; how to perfect the individual, and how to perfect the society as a whole we develop a third question—which subjects at the highest level should be studied to create this superhuman individual that doesn't make mistakes. The process of "Path to Utopia" attempts to answer these questions.
