The resources and articles published on NuclearSafety.org are from a variety of sources, including industry analysts and researchers, regulating agencies, plus a variety of journals and private publications. Richard L Mc Comas, the managing editor, creates scientifically realistic and immersive environments for simulation training purposes.  Rich grew up and began his career in California's Silicon Valley, developing advanced computer programming skills by working on the earliest supercomputers at NASA's AMES Research Center, Hewlett Packard, and Stanford University beginning at a very young age.  In the earliest days of the personal computer (and even before), he was involved in developing and expanding mathematically correct simulation games. After college, Rich worked for General Electric's Nuclear Energy Division as a programmer, part of a team that developed software for GE's nuclear power plant simulators and control systems.  It was at GE that his interest in developing nuclear simulation training was peaked, although the technology available at the time was extremely limited, and the moratorium on new construction limited any real exploration.  In the meantime, the personal computer age was dawning, so Rich founded Horizon Systems, an early computer Value Added Reseller in San Jose selling early CP/M computers, doing pioneering work multi-processor computers, and later developing custom business software. In the late 80s, Rich took a position as Vice President of a simulation training research company founded out of Carnagie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  During his five years in Pittsburgh, he managed all of the company's commercial simulation projects, including a scientifically realistic natural gas SCADA simulation for Equitable Gas, an emergency flight system simulation for US Airways, safety training for US Steel, an architectural photo-realistic simulation for PPG, plus other simulations and mathematically-correct prototyping projects.  To create underlying mathematically correct physical models, Rich worked with scientists at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories and the Argonne National Lab.  To implement the most realistic simulations possible, Rich's team also pioneered rule-based and neural net programming techniques, and created what were among the earliest commercial applications of artificial intelligence software technololgies. In the early 90s, Rich pioneered efforts to commercialize human interactive applications of simulation training, including advancing immersive interpersonal training situations such as "The Name Game," an early videodisc-based touchscreen simulation project which taught diplomats and governmental leaders how to remember names.  These early human-element simulations focussed on discovering and capitalizing on "the learning moment" in real life sitations, and a road tour visiting Chambers of Commerce around the US also introduced the technology to thousands of corporate executives. In more recent years, by further blending of scientifically realistic underlying mathematical models with human-factor brain-analogue programming techniques, Rich is currently working on the next generation of simulation framework design, specifically targeted at increasingly complex safety issues in the energy production and distribution industries.  While the applications of these freamworks are valuable for any energy-production technology, Rich's primary focus remains on nuclear energy training where the safety culture is of utmost importance to the successful implementation and public acceptance of the technology.
