6. Drivers of IT investment in
nuclear power generation
• Economics
– Shorter design and construction time
– Standardization / ‘fleet’ approach, data reuse
– Improve handover to operations
– Operational efficiency
• Licensing
– Accelerating the design certification, construction and
operating license application process
• Configuration management compliance
– Documentation = Design Specs = Physical Plant
• Sustainability
– Long information timescales and ageing workforce

* Bentley maintains a nuclear QA subscription program which meets all applicable requirements of 10CFR50 App.
B, 10CFR21, ASME NQA-1 and ANSI N45.2. Both AutoPIPE and STAAD.PRO software are covered under Bentley Nuclear
QA program and widely used for safety-related applications.

9. ISO 15926
And its relevance to nuclear power

10. The cost of inadequate interoperability
40% of engineering time
is spent locating & If information can be entered
validating information once and used by all, reductions
in delivery time up to 50% are
possible
Poor communications
between systems wastes
30% of project costs
a 14% savings of O&M funding is
also possible
Total bill: $15.8B

11. Bentley Values – ISO 15926 Open
Standard Data Structure
• A standard for explicit information integration
and interoperability
• Standardizes
– Terminology
– Information organization
– How systems connect and exchange information
• Establishing a global neutral information
standard
– Solution to ‘longevity’ of information

12. Bentley Values – ISO 15926
Open Standard Data Structure

13. What is ISO 15926?
• ISO 15926 is an International Standard for the
exchange of process plant life-cycle information.
• It is also an excellent data model for persistence
of plant data

14. Who develops ISO 15926?
• FIATECH Members – including
owners, contractors, equipment suppliers, and software
providers are working together with the POSC Caesar
Association and DNV, to create ISO 15926 online
reference data library.
• FIATECH is an industry consortium that provides global
leadership in identifying and accelerating the
development, demonstration, and deployment of fully
integrated and automated technologies to deliver the
highest business value throughout the lifecycle of all types
of capital projects. www.fiatech.org.
• POSC Caesar is a global, nonprofit organization that
promotes the development of open specifications to be
used as standards for enabling the interoperability of
data, software, and related matters. www.posccaesar.com

16. ISO 15926 in Bentley
• What we’re doing
– Bentley is on the board of Fiatech
– Major contributor to the WIP
– Fiatech standardised on Bentley Class Editor
– ISO 15926-based data management tools
– ISO 15926 data model basis for OpenPlant design apps
– ISO 15926 class library work with several oil majors
– Nuclear specifically:
• FIATECH / EPRI / Dominion initiative
• Engineering data warehouse pilot study at DOE/SRS
• Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
• ICEM’09 abstract
