Configuration Management System is the Core of the Digital NPP Configuration Management System is the source of content, and the repository for nearly all information traveling in the Digital NPP network Digital NPP is the future of Nuclear Power safety and viability, and for its role as the electrical supply of choice in the 21 st Century Digital NPP is not achievable without a CM System There is a great deal of misunderstanding and/or lack of knowledge about this, and Information Technology in general, at most NPP’s

Technologies available for Digital NPP Resolve Regulator issues of Nuclear “Digital Signature” Digital Document Management and Distribution (“. pdf” Format) Digital Engineering (CAD/CAE) for Drawing Management Repatriate specialized, legacy and stand-alone software to better integrate with the CM and NPP Enterprise Systems

Technologies available for Digital NPP CM Data Repositories as Knowledge Engine Solution for Plant Processes through NPP-wide Deployment Wireless Mobile Data Capture Solutions for Work Management, Engineering and Materials CM Databases serve as excellent Knowledge Management Repositories
