Engineering at the heart of a Nuclear Power Plant - Shaheen Shaikh

A Nuclear station is just like a living, breathing entity with many moving parts, much like a city. Each team plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between immediate needs and long-term strategies. In this episode, I chat with Shaheen Shaikh, the VP of Station Engineering at Ontario Power Generation, who shares her insights on the dynamic environment of a nuclear facility. Shaheen emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various teams, including operations, maintenance, and engineering, to ensure high performance and reliability in power generation. Shaheen’s passion for her work shines through as she talks about the dedicated individuals who contribute to the nuclear industry, bringing diverse backgrounds and experiences to the table.
