OSART Good Practices

PROSUR and SIAT Programs It is important that document and procedure configuration controls be managed closely to adequately promote reactor safety. The PROSUR and SIAT Programs provide important elements of this control. PROSUR The Prosur program is a single reference program that encompasses all plant system activities, for example: maintenance, operations, chemistry, surveillance tests. The Prosur program provides configuration document and procedure management controls. These controls apply to technical specifications, procedures, and governing documents for the applicable equipment. SIAT Siat is a rigorous configuration management tool especially for outages. It was developed to control the change in reactor states during outage periods. This ensures compliance with operations and maintenance requirements during outages. Prior to any change in reactor state during the outage, coordination files are prepared via SIAT, reviewed by the outage safety committee and validated by the shift operations manager. SIAT is linked with the outage work schedule i.e.: work windows, milestones and outage safety committee hold points
