I'll hold my hands up: I've been quiet in here for longer than I would have liked. Project work took over, and the community hasn't had the attention it deserves. That's changing from this week. Here's what's coming: - Decision Review Live is back — Friday 17th July, 6pm. Bring a real grey-area decision from a live project and we'll work through it together. - A new cohort of the nuclear programme opens in September — more on that shortly. - Q&A is coming back, running bi-weekly. - New SILVerify features are in development and will be live soon. - More case studies and guides on the way. Got a question sitting in your drafts? Post it, and let the community do its thing.

Quick update — I’m feeling a bit under the weather this week, so I’m going to reschedule our deep dive review session to make sure I can give it the energy and focus it deserves. I’ll post the new date and time once I’m back on my feet — aiming for Friday if all goes well. In the meantime, if there’s a specific topic or question you’d like me to cover in that session, drop it in the comments below so I can build it into the updated plan. Appreciate your understanding, and I’ll catch you all very soon. – Richard

Just uploaded: Functional Safety in Nuclear — How Non-Power Nuclear Facilities Differ from the Process Industry. 22 pages. Covers the eight areas where nuclear practice materially differs from IEC 61511 — regulatory framework, classification, software, defence in depth, proof testing, the safety case, and the concept everyone gets wrong when they first encounter Class 1 integrity targets. Written for process industry engineers who are entering nuclear, or who want to understand why things are done differently there. It's in the Premium classroom now.

This is what it's for: bring a real grey-area decision from a live project. Something the standard doesn't give a clear answer on. We work through it together. Premium members only. If you want to bring a scenario, upgrade before 07/04/26. I'll also be covering a scenario of my own if nobody submits one — so there's always something to work through. Premium members — the session link will be posted in the Decision Review Live classroom on the day Decision Review Classroom Area
