1. Configuration Management Principles And Practices for New Nuclear Plants Sam Melton Progress Energy June 19, 2007Charleston, SC

2. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • Nuclear Renaissance is on the horizon • Many corporate owners of existing nuclear plants are considering new plant construction • NRC has received numerous early site license applications and expects to receive combined Construction and Operating License (COL) applications as early as this year. • NuStart, Dominion, TVA consortia • STP, Progress Energy, Constellation, Entergy, Duke, SCANA, Southern and others have announced plans

3. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • Configuration Management has already begun • NRC has certified design for ABWR, AP600, System 80+, AP1000 • NRC is evaluating ESBWR • Additional designs in development that expect to apply for certification • Certified designs establish design requirements and create information

4. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • Configuration Management professional involvement • Opportunity for influence • Capture Lessons Learned, don’t repeat the mistakes of the past • Establish paradigms This isn’t a chance to do it over right, this is a chance to figure out what “right” is.

5. Principles and Practices for NPP CM Engineering Design Procurement, Documentation Construction Requirements And Startup Design Requirements Facility Facility Configuration Configuration Physical Information Information Configuration Configuration Management Pre commercial operation

6. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • CMBG Involvement • 2006 presentation and breakout, focused on what lessons should be learned • CDSV CM Committee reported on plan to write paper • CMBG Steering Committee approved plan to present paper at this conference • CDSV is an interface organization for Progress Energy (ex CP&L), Duke, SCANA, and Dominion Power (ex Virginia Power)

7. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • CDSV Paper Development • Working meeting February 2007, with participation from INPO • Initial draft, April 2007 • INPO visits to GE, AREVA with CDSV participation • Final draft reviewed at this conference • INPO involvement • Proposed addendum to AP-929 • Used draft CDSV paper as starting point

8. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • Issues of concern • Standard design maintenance constraints • Intellectual property protection • Human Factors design constraints (NUREG 0711 Revision 2) • Electronic media, 3D Modeling, “just-in-time” drawings

9. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • Outline • Objective • Introduction • Assumptions • Developing a CM Transition Plan • Design Authority Roles and Responsibilities • Design Control Principles • Principles for Selection of Information about SSCs • Principles for Presentation of Information about SSCs

10. Principles and Practices for NPP CM • What’s this good for? • Intrusive involvement in contract development and content • Developing assessment and oversight tools • Reviewing processes and procedures • What’s next? • INPO AP 929 revision to incorporate addendum - identify commenters • CDSV product may be made available after final approval as desired
