The application of information technology (IT) offers a method to automate and ensure the timely and effective capture, processing and distribution of key nuclear power plant information to support CM principles and practical processes and procedures for implementation of CM at nuclear power plants. This publication reviews some of the principles established in IAEA-TECDOC-1335, ‘Configuration Management in Nuclear Power Plants.’ It also recaps tenets laid out in IAEA- TECDOC-1284, ‘Information Technology Impact on Nuclear Power Plant Documentation’ that supports CM programmes. This publication has been developed in conjunction with and designed to support these other two publications. These three publications combined provide a comprehensive discussion on configuration management, information technology and the relationship between them. An extensive discussion is also provided in this publication on the role of the design basis of the facility and its control through the CM process throughout the facility’s lifetime. While this report was developed specifically for nuclear power plants, the principles discussed can be usefully applied to any high hazard nuclear facility. The IAEA wishes to express its gratitude to all experts who contributed and participated in the drafting and review of this publication. Particular thanks are due to C. Wallen, K. Freeland and B.K. Grimes (USA) for their active and effective contribution to the project and their assistance in the compilation of this publication. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were F. Hezoucky and J. Mandula of the Division of Nuclear Power.
