Before a nuclear power plant becomes operational, its plant systems and structures are functionally arranged to operate in a particular way. This functional arrangement is specified by the plant design requirements and is called its configuration. This paper presents a method by which all plants (those under construction, as well as those in operation) can benefit from a formal, step-by-step approach to data capture, storage, and retrieval for use throughout the plant's life cycle: a plant configuration management system (PLANT/CMS).
