Workshop: Implementation of Performance Indicators - Sharing the successes, problems, and pitfalls of implementing CM PIs.

Option 1:
Promoting CM - One of INPO’s enablers is “Well managed and understood Safety, Design and Operational Margins.” To achieve this, the principles and processes of CM must be communicated to all site organizations that play a role. This topic should address ways that utilities can create a heightened awareness through training, communication and site groups like CM steering committees.

Option 2:
Maintaining Design/License Basis Information - 

Option 1:
Margin Management – John Meyer, Comanche Peak.  In 2003 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station developed and implemented a margin model in response to feedback from INPO and involved a combination of research, collegial discussion, and industry input.  Implementation required design, development, training and procedural revisions.

Option 2:
INPO AP-929 Revision - INPO

Workshop: Calculation Management - an extended discussion and comparison of calculation management practices.

Option 1:
Creating a Single Equipment Database – Mike Lindsay - Sharing experiences of the identification and consolidation of plant configuration databases into one interconnected information system. This discussion will examine the experiences of plants to integrate their equipment databases into a single source, object oriented information system which has a relationship structure with plant design information such as drawings, calculations, design change packages, and locations.

Option 2:
Reducing Management Facility Configuration Information – In this time of increased pressure to control costs of plant operations, the amount of managed facility configuration information (drawings, calculations, component data, licensing documents, others) required to support plant activities has a significant impact on these costs. This breakout will focus on identifying effective methods to reduce the volume of FCI being managed by a station while minimizing the impact of this reduction on the safe, reliable operation of the facility.

Option 1:
Using CM to Assure the Plant’s Design Bases Are Maintained – The October 9, 1996 NRC letter to all utilities (commonly referred to as the 10CFR50.54f letter) requested that each licensed unit provide information supporting:  the rationale for concluding that design bases requirements are translated into operating, maintenance, and testing procedures; the rationale for concluding that system, structure, and component configuration and performance are consistent with the design bases. 
This breakout session is intended to address the issues by identifying:  (a) Examples of how the design bases requirements may get missed/ changed in operating, maintenance, and testing procedures; (b) Specific CM Program elements to address the issues; (c) Practical ways to assure that the design bases requirements are identified and translated into operating, maintenance, and testing procedures; (d) Guidance for assessing your CM program for conformance.
