Configuration management of DOE facilities -- lessons learned.

摘要

Configuration management (CM) is an integrated management process to ensure that facilities' physical and functional characteristics are maintained in conformance with the facilities' authorization basis and that modifications, maintenance, and operating processes are consistent with the conditions prescribed by the design basis. The Department of Energy (DOE) completed a feasibility study of DOE Nuclear facilities in the area of Configuration Management. The CM review was associated with their effort to review and improve all aspects of DOE Facility and operations safety. Based upon these reviews and discussions with selected utilities and DOE Site Contractors, a recommendation to issue a DOE Order was given resulting in DOE 5480.CM, ''Operational Configuration Management.'' DOE prepared a draft order and issued it for comment to the other DOE Field Offices, and some selected Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Contractors. Another DOE Headquarters group is preparing a CM Order DOE 663, Configuration Management for Non-Nuclear Facilities. EG&G Idaho used the DOE Orders on several nuclear facilities and has some lessons learned they desire to share with the DOE nuclear and non-nuclear industry. This session will discuss an overall CM Program and give lessons learned when available.
