Mr. Maycock is an internationally recognized expert with over 31 years
experience in Management, Operation and Engineering of nuclear and fossil
power plants in the U.K, combined with senior project consulting work in
the U.S, Canada, the Ukraine and Slovak Republic. His career has been focused
in many facets of the electrical generating industry.
Mr. Maycock was Senior Vice-President at two nuclear power plants within
the U.K after having gained experience at the same level in a large oil-fired
plant. His career in the nuclear industry in the U.K culminated in the
position of Executive Director on the operating Board of Nuclear Electric
Plc (now British Energy) and headed up the delivery of Total Quality Management
during the critical period of privatization, leading on the crucial Stake
Holder Management aspects with the Industry's Regulator, (the Nuclear Installations
Inspectorate) and with the National full-time Trade Union Officers during
both privatization and post-privatization down-sizing and reorganization.
He was architect of the post-privatization strategy to gain dominance in
the Deregulated Energy Market and was utilized by the Company to elevate
it to the number one generator within the U.K.
After training at C.A. Parsons, U.K's large steam turbine manufacture,
he has held subsequent assignments in the construction, commissioning and
operations of nuclear and fossil power plants, being the Departmental Head
of both engineering and production organizations within the nuclear field,
before promotion to Station Vice President status.
As Vice President of Bradwell Nuclear Power Plant, he steered it through
to commercial viability combined with the cultural and technical nuclear
safety issues. This site achieved the distinction of being the first commercial
reactor in the world to generate power beyond 30 years.
He was then appointed Plant Manager of one of the largest UK nuclear plants
at Heysham 1 and embraced the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM)
placing an emphasis on the behavioral sciences to radically transform the
site's performance in both the safety and commercial arenas. During my
tenure at Heysham 1 Power Plant, significant safety events were reduced
from 9 per year to zero, output was increased by 42% and costs reduced
by 46%. The Plant was used by Nuclear Electric and became a benchmarking
focal point for the USNRC and international nuclear generating companies.
Mr. Maycock represented the United Kingdom in the
International Nuclear Safety Advisory Group (INSAG) development of INSAG
4 (Safety Culture),
and Chaired the International Atomic Energy Agency's "ASSET" program
in Vienna. He has also mentored the CEO and Executive Director of Operations
of GRAVNATOM/ ENERGOATOM in the Ukraine.
