CR3 Terminology Flashcards
Design
The technical and management processes which commence with the identification of design input and which lead to and includes the issuance of design output documents (Ref. ANSI N45.2.11). Software used in design is also part of the process. It must be developed and maintained in accordance with established controls. This includes analytical routines embedded in the software package and generic or standard modeling typically used with the software
Design Input
Those criteria, parameters, bases, or other design requirements, updated to reflect all approved changes, upon which final design is based (Ref. ANSI N45.2.11). Design Inputs per ANSI N45.2.11 are identified in EGR-NGGC-0005.
Design Output Document
Documents such as drawings, specifications, calculation/analyses, and other design documents that define technical requirements of systems, structures or components (SSC) (Ref. ANSI N45.2.11).
Design Verification Review
The process of independently reviewing, confirming, or substantiating the design by one or more methods to provide assurance that the design meets the specified design inputs. Acceptable verification methods include but are not limited to: 1) Design Review; 2) Alternate Calculation, 3) Qualification Testing. (Ref. ANSI N45.2.11)
Document Check Review
A review performed to confirm that the approved EC was accurately and correctly incorporated into the identified design output document (excluding procedures).
Engineering Review
A review performed by personnel with technical competence in the subject matter as determined by virtue of training or experience to confirm the technical adequacy and accuracy of the proposed design.
Final Design
Approved design output documents and approved changes thereto (ref. ANSI N45.2.11).
Owner’s Review
A review performed on designs and/or design output documents received from external sources including, but not limited to A/E’s, NSSS Suppliers, vendors, or other company organizations, external to the Nuclear Generation Group. An Owner’s Review is not a design verification review, but is a review to determine the acceptability and validity of the externally generated document. Owner’s review is the process of establishing NGG possession, jurisdiction, and authority with respect to this design and/or design output documents. Ownership is demonstrated by the ability to properly use, prudently change, and explain the characteristics of the design or design output document.
Special Engineering Review
A review performed by personnel with technical competence in the subject matter as determined by virtue of training or experience to confirm regulatory requirements and licensing commitments are satisfied by the design.
Calculation
A document which records the details and results of analytical or computational processes. These processes translate inputs, assumptions, constraints, standards, and methods into outputs that may be used in specifying or authorizing design requirements or operating parameters for systems, structures, or components. The calculation may include analysis of alternate, past or future configurations in addition to the current configuration. For the purpose of this procedure, “calculation” is synonymous with “analysis”.
Calculation Amendment
An interim revision of, or addition to, the calculation.
Engineering Change (EC)
The process used by Engineering to prepare and implement changes to the plant, to evaluate or disposition a concern, or to update controlled documents, databases, or software.
Full Calculation Revision
A change to a calculation including incorporation of previously approved calculation change documents for installed configurations (e.g., Design Change Backup Forms (DCBFs), Amendments, outstanding changes) into the Calculation by revision.
Non-Standard Calculation
An existing calculation that does not meet the criteria of this procedure or a new vendor calculation, performed in accordance with the vendor’s QA program, and entered and maintained in Progress Energy’s Document Management System.
Stand-Alone Document
A calculation or calculation revision processed without an Engineering Change.
