Ontario Hydro Nuclear Generation Division Information Systems at Darlington NGS

Abstract

The need for a more efficient method of managing information in Ontario Hydro's nuclear stations was initially identified in the early 1980's. There followed a Nuclear Generation Division (NGD) Information System Planning (ISP) Study in 1982, which identified the major information problems confronting the division and specified the existing and new information systems required to address these. In 1983/84, the requirements for these systems were defined. Detailed specifications were produced in 1985 and during 1986/87 the systems were designed, tested and installed, initially at Darlington NGS. The systems are now in full production at Darlington and are in the process of being installed at Pickering NGS. This paper outlines an overview of these systems, a brief description of the Work Management System, the way in which they are all used, the costs associated with them and the benefits resulting from them.
