Westinghouse Electric Company LLC has an ongoing initiative to develop a fully in-house suite of software applications to manage nuclear plant design data. Westinghouse began this initiative due to the challenges of having to extensively customize commercially available data management software to suit specific business and process needs. In pursuit of a better approach, Westinghouse has developed a flexible application framework. This has enabled the building of discipline-specific applications that integrate with each other and external software tools, such as 3D modeling software. In the process, Westinghouse has faced several challenges, some of which are specific to the nuclear industry, such as meeting industry quality assurance requirements to maintain lifetime records in accepted file formats. Software functionality has been developed to address those requirements.
