Group of companies NEOLANT develops and implements Plant Information Models (PIM) to support nuclear and power generation facilities management.
Unique Russian Experience in Using PIM Technologies
Nowadays Russia is the first country worldwide successfully using PIM Technologies in nuclear industry for several years. A nuclear facility information model is a digital prototype of the facility enabling operators to solve multiple tasks concerning the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning. Using PIM Technologies results in significant optimization of the nuclear facility management concerning its economic efficiency and safety. The price of facility's ownership can be reduced up to 30%, where the stages ensuring the economy of losses are delivery of equipment and facilities, construction, operation and decommissioning. In terms of safety, the information models contribute to lowering the generated RW amount and personnel dose rate in the facility.
Group of companies NEOLANT widely experienced in solving of tasks unprecedented in the Russian nuclear practice is one of the leading design contractors for a number of Rosatom's enterprises particularly concerning the development and implementation of PIM technologies.
IAEA and WANO noted the experience in implementing and applying PIM technologies in the Russian nuclear industry.
Effectiveness of PIM at Facilities Operation and Decommissioning
Given that the operation and decommissioning are the longest stages of a nuclear facility lifecycle, the outcome of PIM technology usage is the most significant in the nuclear industry and hence doubtlessly has a positive effect on the facility management expenditure optimization.
