CMC 2011 Conference-Focus Heads-Up

Abstract

‘Predictability’ [definition – ‘Dependable Outcomes Based on Pre-Verified Plans and Processes’] - is key to nuclear industry public and stakeholder confidence – predictability in public, employee, and environmental safety; in reliable production; in improvement and refurbishment project execution; and in overall financial performance. CMC 2011 addresses this by focusing on; Utility experience with optimally-managed outages in well-run plants, on the ways-of-working processes, tools and behaviors required by the industry to succeed; applying lessons-learned to hugely-complex and scope-expansion prone projects like refurbishments – and eventually new-build. Configuration management, operating chemistry, Utility/Service-Provider interfaces, and intelligent replication are explored along the way.
