The Vision
• New Nuclear Power Plants - Designed, Procured, and
Constructed Differently
• Computer Technology - 2D, 3D, Other Modeling Tech,
Data, Databases and Electronic Document Sources Used
Extensively
• Computer-based Information Model Environment called
the “Virtual Power Plant”
• Virtual Power Plant - Comprehensive, Detailed and Able
to be Integrated with Plant Design, Operations and
Maintenance Databases and Documents/Records

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of
thinking we used when we created them”

The Need
A Modern Automated, Integrated and Interoperable
Configuration Management Program Must Be Established
• Maintain consistency between the design
requirements, physical configuration and facility
configuration information
• Ensure the ability to document and maintain
compliance with the license basis
Needs to be Significantly Different than Configuration
Management Programs Currently Used by Operating
Plants

CMBG
2009
CMBG Document Objective
Establishing CM for New NPPs
As new nuclear power plants (NPPs) are ordered,
designed and constructed, the insights and
experiences of Configuration Management (CM)
professionals should be used to establish as early and
as robustly as possible the principles and practices
needed to develop and implement processes and tools
for identifying, establishing, and maintaining the
alignment between design requirements, physical
configuration, and configuration information that make
up an effective CM program and ensure the ability to
document compliance with the license basis.

Achieving New Nuclear Virtual
Plant Configuration Management
Three Sub-Task Initiatives
• Standard Configuration Management Reference
Model and Implementing Guideline
• New Nuclear Plant XML Equipment Schemas
• New Nuclear Plant Information Handover Guide
9
CMBG
2009
Sub-Task 1 Initiative
Develop a Standard Configuration Management
Reference Model (SCMRM) and Implementing
Guideline
• Provide a Common Framework – Help Manage CM
Program in a Consistent and Connected Way
• SCMRM - XML tool kit consisting of CM Relationship
Taxonomy, Schemas and Supporting Design and
Licensing Basis Rule Set
• The Implementing Guideline - Best Practices
Document providing “How to” Details for the Use
and Implementation of the SCMRM

ANT Program Objectives
• New nuclear power plants must overcome a
number of regulatory, economic, technical, and
social barriers prior to becoming a reality
• Program efforts focused around:
– Facilitating standardization across the new fleet
– Transferring technology to new plant designs
– Ensuring top plant performance from start of
operations
– Reduce overall deployment risk and uncertainty
