First Pass
Category: This is a vision-like paper.
Context: Dr. Wood is a professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Tennesse. He started working at UT after working at ORNL for 20+ years where he was a senior researcher. He works on common cause failures.
Correctness: There are not many citations, and a lot of the paper seems like it is off-the-cuff. This was an invited article though in the Nuclear Engineering and Technology journal. He's also got quite the resume.
Contributions: Dr. Wood gives a good overview of where we are (automated control), and where we need to go (autonomous control). Comparisons are made to other industries, and how they've addressed these challenges. Clarifications are made with respect to how the nuclear industry is unique.
Clarity: Well written and clear, but a bit wordy at times. Examples are used but sometimes it just feels like a mouthful.
Second Pass
What is the main thrust? Wood talks a lot about what it means for a system to be autonomous. He actually starts with a etymological argument- "automatos means self-acting, whereas autonomos means independent."
What is the supporting evidence?
What are the key findings?
