Welcome and keynote message provided by the Chief Nuclear Office of Sargent & Lundy.
This presentation from the Institute of Nuclear Plant Operations (INPO) will present an INPO perspective on the overall state of engineering and configuration management across the nuclear industry and describe INPO's CM-related activities and current focus areas.
This presentation provides an update on SMR technologies.
This presentation from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will present the NRC perspective on the overall state of engineering and configuration management across the nuclear industry.
The industry Design Oversight Working Group (DOWG) was established as part of the implementation of the Nuclear Promise Standard Design Process (SDP) initiative to provide oversight of the SDP and other industry design-related activities. This presentation will provide a brief status update on both current and future planned DOWG initiatives.
This session will focus on areas in the industry that conference attendees are looking to address. Questions will be obtained during the registration process and during the conference to facilitate this session. This will be an interactive session that will discuss the issue and identify utilities that have addressed the issue and how they addressed it or others that are seeing the same issue. The goal of this session is to allow attendees to bring up areas in which the utility is struggling and gain OE from the industry in real time.
This learning session is based on a PowerPoint presentation that walks the audience through the fundamental concepts, terms, and examples of Configuration Management (CM), including design and operating margin management. The objective of this session is to engage new conference attendees in the CM process as presented at the conference and provide them with a capsule summary of the process. CM 101 should provide an understanding of how the different plant organizations contribute to and support configuration control of design, processes, and equipment. There will be a discussion of the industry three-ball process model for CM equilibrium, examples of how the equilibrium can be upset, and recommended processes for restoring the equilibrium.
