Studies and implementation of PLM for the decommissioning of a nuclear plant

• Execution of design work: consolidation of preliminary design work and preparation of detailed design engineering.
• Production of regulatory documents required in decommissioning file.
• Monitoring of radiological investigations.

In the course of these tasks, a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) platform was introduced to improve the quality of the service and to share data:

• Introduction of optimised document management (in particular including internal workflows).
• Introduction of requirements management to structure and ensure the traceability of information and the conformity of work throughout the project.
• Creation of a hybrid system organisational structure, the first part dedicated to the breakdown of the decommissioning project (PBS - Project Breakdown Structure), a second part covering a geographical breakdown of the building (GBS - Geographical Breakdown Structure).

• Gains in productivity and in quality of deliverables through the pooling of reliable, organised and accessible information.
• Securisation of project, especially for decommissioning scenario phases, through better monitoring of requirements and their justification.
• Reduction of technical project risks by combining, requirements, sources and response documents.
• Gains in efficiency through faster and easier access to relevant data, through centralised information (requirements, input documents, deliverable documents) and more effective organisation of data in the client's system structure.
