Preview — The Rickover Effect by Theodore Rockwell

More than anyone else, Adm. Hyman G. Rickover made nuclear power a reality. Building on the scientific breakthroughs of the atomic bomb project, he created the nuclear Navy almost overnight, when nearly everyone else thought it was a pipe dream, and built the world's first commercial atomic power station. He did most of this in a single decade.

Great book on a subject, nuclear submarine history, there is just not a lot of. Beginning to end it is full of very interesting facts on the history. However, it more a biography of Thomas Rockwell’s association with Rickover. The 2nd half reads strictly as Rockwell’s experiences. Which is fine just a little misleading. Still a must read.

Rickover was awesome. He invented the high-stress engineering interview, for which we all might be thankful when we cross a bridge. Nothing like a good engineering interview to get the blood flowing:

There is little disagreement that successful organizations must have adequate leadership. Yet, the Naval Reactors experience strongly suggests that followers are just as important to organizational effectivenes--a fact that did not escape Rickover..more

Hyman Rickover

Aug 20, 2017Ushan rated it liked it
Admiral Hyman Rickover was the father of the American nuclear Navy. He worked with Westinghouse Electric to build the reactor for the world's first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, which was the world's first pressurized-water reactor. Building a nuclear reactor in the 1950s was difficult enough, but how do you do it in the confined space of a submarine hull, which can lean 45 degrees and experience the shock of depth charges? It was tested in the Idaho desert inside a mock hull surrounded by mo..more

Admiral Rickover is considered the father of the US Nuclear Navy. He built up the nuclear program, creating the standards, training and equipment used to power a nuclear submarine and air craft carriers. Rockwell worked with the Admiral for years and offers this personal biography.

There were a lot of really good stories in here that really gave me a better idea of the kind of man that Admiral Rickover was. The funny thing is that he is not as mean and rough as I thought he was. He was also a very kind man in many ways. There were times when the stories were more technical in nature and were a little slower but they still provided great information. All in all it was a great read.

本書講理論的地方很少
提到核工的地方也都很容易理解
更多的是工業管理
主要在講李高佛對技術如何執行的理念
其實書中的概念在所有工程專案都很適用
雖然科學原理很重要，但是像建造核能潛艦這種巨大的專案
SOP和現場實做技術更為重要
全書向讀者展示了李高佛機車又龜毛，穩定至上的風格
安全係數抓得非常高，而且事事必須要以現場使用需求為重
十分的工程師作派
海軍核子反應爐有嚴密的手冊，完整的訓練
且李高佛堅持開發潛艦用反應器的環境就該跟真實的潛艦一樣
讓後來美國海軍的核安記錄非常優良
(比對蘇聯就更顯得李高佛的高瞻遠矚)
與商用核能的鬆散更是不可同日而語
但這種理念跟科學家還有官僚系統常常有嚴重的衝突
所以李高佛的人緣一直很差，但神奇的是跟國會關係又很好
讓他的政府對手恨得牙癢癢卻扳不倒他
看完全書感覺李高佛跟雍正有點像
有這種上司很痛苦
但他証明了核能可以是幾近零風險的能源
到了現在還是可以給我們很多啟發
Being a Navy nuc for 6 years and working in a nuclear power plant for 39 years this book had personal interest. If not interested in nuclear energy history read a shorter book.

Story of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover's development of the US Navy's nuclear fleet & his transformation of how industry operates, the 'Rickover Effect'
(review is incomplete)
I picked this book off a library shelf on a whim, since I had heard of Rickover as being someone important but knew very little about him. This book is not very well-written nor comprehensive, but it is a relatively quick read for its length, and it gives a vivid if uneven description of what Rickover was like to work for during the years when he had his greatest impact. It is written by a civilian engineer who was one of Rickover's chief assistants at the Navy bureau of sh..more

I mixed feelings about this book. It is generally competently written and interesting but doesn't quite cut it as a biography, history or modern business book. HG Rickover was interesting, brilliant and influential but the story told is limited in perspective and very one sided. Because of Rickover and his tremendous quotes the succeeds almost in spite of itself.
Personally I have found the book's HG Rickover quotes extremely useful, well put lesson that I will be sticking on my wall at work - th..more

Admiral Hymen Rickover was the father of the nuclear Navy. Admiral Rickover is to technical program management what Einstein is to science, or Tesla to engineering. He is the best. Most of the books about him focus on leadership, but The Rickover Effect, written by one of his long-serving engineers, is about his ability to get the job done in a Big Government environment. He built an organization permeated by robust accountability and the ties that bind, in the form of an almost quasi-religiou..more

Admiral Rickover and his team pulled off an amazing feat of engineering. They started almost from scratch in 1949 and by 1955 the first nuclear powered submarine was commissioned. The basic reactor design, the pressurized water reactor, also became the worldwide dominant design in the civilian nuclear power industry. This is an under rated story and deserves to be recognized along with the other great achievements of 20th century science and engineering.

An outstanding description of Admiral Rickover and the effect he had on the Navy and industry. The book chronicles Rickover's career from the point of view of Rockwell. The insight into what Rickover accomplished and his personality are great reading.
Great inspiring book for engineers & other fields--dry though, and very subject-matter-specific. (subject matter is development of Nuclear Power technology)

If you have anything to do with the Navy Nuclear Program, you need to read this!
Allens book appears more objective but its difficult to judge. Both need to be read for a full perspective.
