5. eAM will support NEK’s ERP strategy – how will it do this and what benefits
are you likely to see?
● NEK Project goals:
● New process considers NEK good practice and industry good practices (WANO, IAEA, INPO,
EPRI)
● Long term IT solution to support continuous plant effort to improve plant safety and reliability
as well as cost effectiveness of plant operation by having proper management tool
● To assure NEK personnel and subcontractor knowledge necessary for long term local
support.
● To bring NPP specifics requirements in the future as standard
● New acquisition important for NEK: Primavera
● NEK Project goals: requirements for maintenance management SW
– Reactor safety, industrial safety, plant reliability and quality of work.
– User-friendly environment for planners, maintenance and operation.
– Human resources optimization.
– Follow-up functionality (work order statuses, users, time and dates).
– Equipment history of work performed, condition found, material used, measuring and testing
equipment, procedures, human resources, failure analyses.
– New process considers NEK good practice and industry good practices (WANO, IAEA,
INPO, EPRI).
– Legislation consideration.
– Work order and its permits – fully computer (e-documented) process (no written signings)
and e-archiving
– Surveillance and repetitive tests should be performed by use of work order process.
– Preventive and repetitive activities should generate work orders and estimates future costs,
human resources and material requirements.
6. Why is it important for NEK to have an enterprise software strategy in
place?
●Reasons for EBS implementation
– Existing applications upgrades & maintenance-Lack of professional IT-resources (even for
maintaining existing scope of Management Information System)
– New HW & SW technology
– New NEK processes (management & e-bussines). Number of additional requirements for new IT
solution.
– New business related legislations (EU)
– International Accounting Standard
●NEK expectation (enterprise software strategy) is Long term IT solution
– Long term IT solution for the NEK, open and adaptable to the new requirements.
– Long term IT solution for the NEK, which can support continuous plant effort to improve plant
safety and reliability as well as cost effectiveness of plant operation by having proper
management tool .
– To assure NEK personnel and subcontractor knowledge of the product necessary for long term
support.
7. What are you hoping to see from becoming a member of Oracle Enterprise
Asset Management (eAM) Customer Advisory Board?
● Feb. 2009-ORACLE PROPOSAL- “We hope NEK will join Oracle
in constructing a next generation vision of technology application in nuclear utilities.”
● May 2009-MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
– Weekly Call with EAM Product Strategy group Oracle
– initiation Nuclear Power Generation Special Interest Group (NPG SIG) - www.NPGSIG.org
(Presented and accepted was a list of requirements which will be presented to eAM CAB (Customer Advisory
Board)
– NEK continuing participation in Health and Safety Feature Design (permits, isolations, locks and tags)
– NEK participation in eAM Customer Advisory Board
» Enhancement Priorities (a list of requirements )-voting
» NEK Goal:To bring NPP specifics requirements in the future as standard solution
● NEK perspective on partnership with ORACLE
– To implement IT solution around which we can to gather other NPPs
– It is NEK interest to supporting Oracle in gathering other users from industry. By this the NPG SIG would
become more influent on development path of standard EBS(eAM) solution. We are sure, that many practices
from nuclear industry would be helpful to other industries.
– It is NPG SIG interest to follow-up nuclear industry requirements in the future (like WANO, INPO, IAEA, EPRI,
..).
– Oracle Nuclear Interest Group can influent software development in direction to improve nuclear safety,
industrial safety, and reliability of the utilities that use Oracle products.
– Oracle asked NEK to become member of Fusion Asset Strategy Forum
8. NPGSIG members statistic
»More than 300 members
»More than 100 members from nuclear power plants (most of them
from the US)
»More than 100 members from companies which are strong connected
to nuclear power generation industry (Westinghouse, Areva, GE
energy, AMEC, …)
»More than 1000 visitors of www.nogsig.org web page from 64
countries all around the world

22. NEK’s Vision
In terms of nuclear safety, operational stability and business
performance, our aim is to be classified among the best
functioning nuclear power plants in the world.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
“Proper maintenance is essential to plant safety. As discussed in the regulatory analysis, there is
a clear link between effective maintenance and safety as it relates to such factors as the number
of transients and challenges to safety systems and the associated need for operability, availability,
and reliability of safety equipment. In addition, good maintenance is also important in providing
assurance that failures of other than safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSCs)
that could initiate or adversely affect a transient or accident are minimized. Minimizing challenges
to safety systems is consistent with the NRC's defense-in-depth philosophy. Maintenance is also
important to ensure that design assumptions and margins in the original design basis are
maintained and are not unacceptably degraded. Therefore, nuclear power plant maintenance is
clearly important in protecting public health and safety.”
NRC Statement on maintenance in regard to the maintenance rule (Regulatory Guide 1.160)
