Conference Cafe Sessions
CM Cafe
VENDOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This café session is intended to help attendees
share information about their Vendor Technical Information processes and
rules associated with maintaining documentation from vendors of key
safety- related components.
This will include a review of the NRC Generic Letter 90-03.
Participants should come prepared to discuss how these issues are
handled by their organization.
Facilitator: Paul Davis, PSEG Nuclear
Paul works for PSEG Nuclear at the
Salem/Hope Creek Plants as a Technical Analyst - CM.
He has over 22 years experience in CM and has been the CMBG.org
webmaster since 2002.
ER & PLANNING FOR OBSOLESCENCE
This breakout session is a follow-up to the morning
presentation and is intended to help attendees share information about
their processes for identification, control and replacement of obsolete
equipment.
The goal of this session is for participants to share information on
strengths and lessons learned at their plants which the group can use as
benchmarking information to assist in improving our processes.
Facilitator: John Parler, SCE&G
John works for South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. at
the VC Summer Station as the CM Supervisor.
He has over 25 years of experience in nuclear power and 11 years in CM.
MARGIN MANAGEMENT
Attendees will be asked to share their experiences
with identifying and managing low margin SSCs.
How do their programs align with the elements in INPO's Good Practice
09-003 .
How are too low margin SSCs identified - system health reports, operable
but degraded SSCs, other?
How are margin issues prioritized for action?
What has been particularly effective and what has not?
Facilitator : Rick Harris, Duke Energy
David Hembree, INPO
MAINTAINING THE VIRTUAL PLANT
This cafe will provide an opportunity for
discussion, questions and answers around the morning presentation of the
same title.
Attendees will discuss the issues and concerns centering around the fact
that most Engineering Design companies obtaining licenses for the next
generation of plants are using 3D modeling to design the plant.
They are also trying to convince the customer companies that continuing
to maintain this 3D model, along with its associated databases and
documentation, using their proprietary software systems, is the best way
to go.
How to establish effective CM in this environment is the key question.
Facilitator: Russell Adams, Dominion Generation
Ken Barry, EPRI
