Striving to Maintain the Nuclear Design Basis

Even in today's so-called information age where powerful information processing platforms exist, a fully electronic design change process is almost unheard of. Existing processes offer very little assistance to the design engineer responsible for preparing, reviewing, and coordinating the impact of the design change and performing the closeout process. This free white paper describes the elements required for a fully automated electronic design engineering solution that links each step of the process, including: Problem identification and resolution, including problem identification, analysis, and deploying corrective and performance improvement actions Change requests, including change impact analysis, technical reviews, and scoping the problem and determining resource needs Change disposition, including resource allocation, design development and planning coordination, and review and approval Implementation Effectiveness reviews, closeout, and baseline Benefits of a fully electronic design engineering process include: Cost savings by reducing the need to recreate information Enhanced decision support by ensuring quality information Improved worker safety Improves compliance with industry regulations Download this free white paper today!

Solutions for Ongoing Nuclear Performance Improvement

Though mandated in the nuclear industry, ongoing performance improvement is a goal that applies to any facility. This free white paper discusses best practice information technology system capabilities that provide dynamic feedback and quality information for optimum decision-making. Performance improvement can be achieved by integrating configurable, workflow-driven applications that manage all related requirements. With effective integration and context management, data derived from these processes provide dashboard reports showing key performance indicators in real time. With a robust technology that automates and links the following process, solution gaps can be identified, validated, and trended for action, both corrective and preventative: Performance Assessment/Trending Performance Indicators Benchmarking Self Assessments Request Free!

Solving the Brain Drain for Nuclear and Power Generation

Your organization's most important asset is the knowledge your workers hold. With today's transient workforce and the large percentage of nuclear workers approaching retirement age, it is critical to implement a system that will capture their knowledge in an efficient, usable way. This white paper discusses information technology that enables you to identify, manage, and relate knowledge from best practices, human experience, industry communities of practice, changes to plant configuration, regulations, training, lessons learned, and more. Knowledge presented through existing business processes provides significant business value because: It is trustworthy and applicable to relevant tasks It is accessible and reusable It prese nts lessons learned, opportunities, and best practices in context Download this free white paper today!
