Each of these operators then set up interdisciplinary groups to analyze the causes of these failures. These groups found that there were no simple explanations for the problem, and that there was a need for a more global approach to solving equipment reliability issues. To help US operators solve this problem, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) published a report in 2001 entitled Reliability Process Description AP-913
