The recent issuance of industry guidelines, the Nuclear Management and Resources Council procurement initiative, and a US Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC generic letter on commercial-grade item dedication (CGD) has been viewed by many utility managers and executives as only adding to the existing burden of compliance with regulatory requirements. While the incorporation of these documents into existing CGD programs has created additional costs, the resulting enhanced dedication programs have also produced benefits beyond regulatory compliance, and some lessons have been learned. This paper discusses the benefits and the lessons learned during implementation of an enhanced CGD program at New Hampshire Yankee's (NHY's) Seabrook nuclear plant. Based on NHY's experience, it is believed that the benefits described in this paper can be realized by other utilities implementing CGD programs.
