IAEA CM GUIDANCE
DOCUMENTS
The IAEA has been active at
providing CM guidance to nuclear
entities outside of the USA. In 2010
the Agency issued two new CM
documents: Safety Series Report 65,
“Application of Configuration
Management in Nuclear Power
Plants” and TECDOC-1651,
“Information Technology for Nuclear
Power Plant Configuration
Management.” This presentation will
provide an overview of these
documents and establish the linkage
to current USA CM guidance.

IAEA and CM
•
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is part of the United
Nations Organizations (UNO) located in Vienna, Austria.
•
The Agency originally established the Configuration Management
program within the Nuclear Engineering (NE) Department. The
responsibility was split between NE and Nuclear Safety.
•
Currently, the majority of the CM activity has been transferred to the
IAEA Nuclear Safety (NS) Department.
•
IAEA Publications have several classifications, such as Technical
Documents (TECDOC) and Reports . Official IAEA publications can
take anywhere from 1-3 years to develop from concept to publication.
•
This lifecycle can create some risk of obsolescence.
•
The Agency recognizes the importance of CM for NPP’s and includes
CM Requirements in their new build requirements for Member States.

TECDOC-1651
“Information Technology for Nuclear Power Plant Configuration
Management.”
4
TECDOC-1651
“Information Technology for Nuclear Power Plant Configuration
Management.”
•
TECDOC-1651 was largely written by Kent Freeland and Cliff Wallen,
with the work split between Information Technology and Design Basis.
•
The document was then reviewed and edited by Kent and Cliff to
cross check content, and published in March of 2010.
•
The document is a new concept, and does not replace any existing
IAEA publication. It completes the Configuration Management trilogy
of CM Requirements, Technology Impact on NPP Document
Management Systems (TECDOC-1284 by Dr. Ki-Sig Kang of IAEA))
and Implementation and NPP Information Technology.
•
The document address NPP MRO and ERP requirements in general,
with emphasis on CM and related programs.

Management.”

“Information Technology for Nuclear Power
Plant Configuration Management”
• Requested by: Nuclear Engineering Department
• Sponsor:
Jiri Mandula
• Authors: B. Grimes, K. Freeland, C. Wallen
• Supersedes/Replaces: N/A
• Applies to: NPP’s during design, construction and operation
• Commenced: October 2008
• Published: March 2011
• Available from: IAEA Publications website
http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/te_1651_web.pdf

TECDOC-1651
“Information Technology for Nuclear Power Plant Configuration
Management.”
General Purpose
•
Describe the requirements of forming and maintaining an NPP design
basis, and conducting a design basis reconstitution if necessary.
•
Describe and outline the requirements for NPP enterprise configuration
management information technology solution to store and maintain the
design basis and other NPP configuration management data.
•
Includes development of supporting MRO, ERP and Knowledge-based
functionality for enterprise nuclear business processes and business
rules.
•
The TECDOC includes examples of enterprise NPP CM solution
architecture, functionality, interfaces and data models.
•
Also compares the advantages of repository- and PLM (Plant Lifecycle
Management)-based solutions.

TECDOC-1651
“Information Technology for Nuclear Power Plant Configuration
Management.”
Suggested Utilization
The TECDOC should be reviewed and referenced during the review of
design basis programs and to assess the state of the NPP design basis
library and engineering change control system.
It is also recommended as a checklist for design basis review during
engineering change control and modification activities.
The document is recommended as a handbook for preparation of
specifications, RFQ’s and purchasing bid media for development or
purchases of enterprise CM, MRO and ERP software solutions
The document also aids in selection of supporting applications such
as engineering design and 3D CAD environments, document
management applications, content management and IMS support
systems and other 1st- and 2nd-tier software.

Safety Series Report No. 65
“Application of Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants”

Safety Series Report No. 65
“Application of Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants”
• Originally designated as publication 1461, was
largely written by Rick Harris of CMBG.
• It was reviewed and edited by Kent Freeland, and
published in January of 2010.
• Replaced the venerable TECDOC-1335,
“Configuration Management in Nuclear Power
Plants”, originally published in 2003 and considered
a benchmark for CM references.

Safety Series Report No. 65
“Application of Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants”
Safety Series Report No. 65
Title: “Application of Configuration Management in
Nuclear Power Plants”
Requested by: Nuclear Safety Department
Sponsor: Csila Toth
Authors: R. Harris, K. Freeland
Supersedes/Replaces: TECDOC-1335
Applies to: NPP’s and Nuclear Facilities during design,
construction and operation
Commenced: Summer 2008
Published:
January 2011
Available from: IAEA Publications website
http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1461_web.pdf

Safety Series Report No. 65
“Application of Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants”
General Purpose
Describe the requirements and business processes in NPP’s
to develop and implement a comprehensive configuration
management program, processes and procedures.
Includes premise, requirements, processes and resources to
establish and maintain a CM program for NPP’s.
Replaces TECDOC-1335, “Configuration Management for
Nuclear Power Plants”, published in 2003.
12
Safety Series Report No. 65
“Application of Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants”
Suggested Utilization
This Safety Series Report was published in the new IAEA
Report Format, in compliance with the new four-tier
document hierarchy structure.
This document should be reviewed and referenced during
development and when writing process plans and procedures
for NPP CM implementation, review, STAR Assessment or
Audit.
May also be utilized to assess contractor and vendor/supplier
CM programs and related taxonomies.
