FACILEX® ATOMIC

Change Control Software
for Nuclear Quality Assurance

Control permanent and temporary changes through a governed lifecycle that connects screening, technical evaluation, authorization, implementation and closure.

Supports structured change processes aligned with 10 CFR 50.59, 50.54, USQ and applicable design-control requirements.

Every change must preserve
the approved configuration.

In nuclear, the question is never only “is this change safe?” It is whether the change can be made without disturbing the regulatory basis.

A single modification can require a 50.59 evaluation, a 50.54(q) emergency plan screen, a 50.54(p) security screen, a 50.54(a)(3) QA program screen and fire protection change control — simultaneously.

Most organizations run those gates as separate, disconnected processes. We screen it under 50.59 but nobody caught the emergency plan impact is one of the most familiar findings in the industry.

?
Change Control must answer:
  • Is the change permissible?
  • What requires technical evaluation?
  • What systems, documents and requirements are affected?
  • Who must review and authorize it?
  • What evidence is required before implementation?
  • Has the approved end state actually been achieved?
▤

One change in, every required screen out

A proposed change is automatically routed through applicable screening and evaluation requirements.

⚙

Eight criteria, enforced rather than remembered

Required evaluation logic is built into the process rather than depending on individual memory.

◆

Part 50 and Part 52 in one engine

Certified-design and standard-design requirements can be handled within the same governed process.

⌘

Fleet propagation, finally controllable

Manage applicability across modules, units and sites without losing configuration visibility.

●

USQ determinations for DOE-authorized facilities

Support configurable screening and evaluation against applicable requirements.

▥

Digital rigor earns its own path

Apply appropriate governance to digital modifications rather than forcing them through a generic process.

A configurable lifecycle maintains governance from initial change proposal through technical evaluation, authorization, implementation and verified closure.

1
Initiation
Define the proposed change and capture required information.
2
Applicability
Determine scope and applicable standards and requirements.
3
Screening
Screen for safety, regulatory, security and operational impacts.
4
Evaluation
Perform required technical, safety and risk evaluations.
5
Approval / LAR
Obtain approvals and determine whether regulatory action is required.
6
Implementation
Implement the approved change and complete required actions.
7
Closure
Verify completion, update affected records and close the change.
☷

Configurable Screening

Screening gates can be configured by jurisdiction, license type, facility and change type.

◷

Temporary Modifications

Control temporary modifications through defined authorization, duration and restoration requirements.

▤

Equivalency & Like-for-Like

Apply configurable determinations without forcing routine replacements through unnecessary evaluation.

⌁

Setpoint & Method-of-Evaluation Changes

Govern changes that can affect analytical assumptions, limits and credited methods.

●

Qualified Preparers & Reviewers

Route work to appropriately qualified personnel based on the evaluation required.

✓

Complete Determination History

Maintain the decision, supporting evidence, reviewers, approvals and resulting actions as a connected record.

Connect the controlled process to the requirements that govern it.

Change Control does not operate in isolation.

FACILEX® ATOMIC preserves the relationships between the change and the processes, records and evidence affected by it.

⌂
Project Delivery Assurance Executed work and project controls.
▤
Design Basis Information Affected design requirements and configuration information.
●
Training & Qualification Personnel impacts and qualification requirements.
✓
Operational Readiness Reviews Authorization to enter the resulting operational state.

One application. Part of one connected management system.

FACILEX® Change Control is one of 21 configurable applications within FACILEX® ATOMIC. Changes can create actions, affect design information, trigger training requirements, influence readiness decisions and become part of the evidence supporting regulatory and management oversight.

Bring us your current process.

We can map your existing Change Control lifecycle, screening requirements, approval gates and regulatory determinations to a configured FACILEX® ATOMIC process.
