<\/div>W<\/span>ith respect to a nuclear facility, Information Management (IM) and Configuration Management (CM) is important throughout its life cycle, but in practice appears to have insufficient maturity.\u00a0 <\/span>Many organizations within the industry in general and specifically within the nuclear industry struggle with implementing a sound and integral Information and Configuration Management process.\u00a0 <\/span>The design in general is fragmented and created using tools from different vendors, even by discipline, and the combination of lack of interoperability and lack of tooling supporting IM and CM wastes money, reduces plant efficiency hindered reuse of design knowledge and potentially even cause safety issues.<\/p>\n

In the Netherlands, the Pallas organization is preparing the replacement of the ageing High Flux Reactor (HFR), producing medical isotopes\u00a0<\/span>which are supplied European wide.<\/span> <\/span>This paper presents a pragmatic and proven implementation of IM and CM in the Pallas nuclear facility project that elegantly meets the needs of IM and CM with respect to the equilibrium triangle specified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).\u00a0 <\/span>This triangle in fact represents the Why, How and What of a nuclear facility and their mutual relations which ought to be always traceable.\u00a0 <\/span>In practice these mutual relations are blocked by interoperability barriers that mostly have an organizational, technological, and semantic nature.<\/p>\n
