A PLM approach to support nuclear decommissioning process - 000079

In a context where decommissioning activities are becoming more and more strategic for the nuclear sector, data information management is of prior interest, especially due to its particular complexity. The main challenge is to ensure the access to the right information at the right time to the right person, in order to provide a consistent basis to the decision support framework. Such information must be well storage, managed and controlled, meaning that the user has to be aware of the level of maturity and uncertainty attached to such information to complete our mastery of nuclear-based energy all along its life-cycle. In order to answer these needs, a PLM (product life-cycle management) approach is proposed and experimented as information backbone for the decommissioning activity and support of the whole process design.
