Owners and operators of nuclear facilities have always been focused on the challenge of avoiding project delays, reducing unplanned shutdowns, and enhancing safety in line with productivity.
In a post-Fukushima world, however, the challenge of anticipating and minimizing the impact of major plant incidents is an equally high-profile priority. When faced with the competing challenges of ensuring readiness to deal with major incidents, complex shutdowns and major capital planning, it is clear a new approach is needed to achieve these business-critical goals.
Thankfully, a virtual solution has been increasing in prominence which allows owners and operators of complex plants such as nuclear facilities a low risk, high return ability to visualize their plants in four dimensions and prepare not only for major incidents, but also build readiness for capital project management, maintenance and shutdown planning.
In this unique presentation, the developers of this solution share with you how other plant owner/operators are using 4D visualization tools to understand:
- How safety can be enhanced – and productivity boosted - during all phases of the project and plant lifecycle from design through to decommissioning
- What lessons can be applied to the nuclear industry from the aeronautical and automotive sectors
- What plant/product lifecycle management software can be used in design, simulation, manufacturing and maintenance
- How simulating in 3D and 4D allows you to learn how to operate the plant in a variety of scenarios via gaming and interaction
- Steps you can take to avoid islands of separate systems and information to manage all elements of a project’s execution
By viewing this webinar, you will be able to:
- Anticipate and recreate challenges and ensure you are able to avoid and manage them effectively
- Plan the steps you can take if incidents occur such as if your cooling system fails, if there is no electricity, and if a valve is not operating
- Understand the uses of virtual training for operations and maintenance learning
- Perform an analysis of the humans operating your facilities to understand what is required to improve equipment
Presentation highlights:
00:00: Introduction and overviews: learning from other sectors
04:00: Trends and challenges: increasing operational safety, minimizing shutdowns, management of complex refurbishment, revamps, and new build projects
07:00: Using simulation to anticipate and simulate ‘what if’ scenarios, managing multiple stakeholders to drive optimization throughout the project cycle
10:00: Capital project management in practice
16:00: What outcomes can we expect to receive from managing capital projects more effectively?
19:45: What solutions exist to address the challenge of nuclear project management?
22:00: 4D maintenance and refurbishing – challenges and solutions – the problems with the status quo
25:00: What solutions can be applied to address these challenges?
28:45: 3D case study simulation – what does 3 planning look like?
36:30: Adding the 4th dimension to the mix
39:00: Fukushima applications of 4D plant visualization
41:00: Product lifecycle management systems for original equipment manufacturers
46:00: Global industry case studies: how is 4D planning actually being applied around the world?

interesting premise. this has been implemented at a few plants already.maybe not this exact one but there are virtual 4d renderings used for this exact purpose . of course there are always safety concerns, it is a nuclear plant. thanks for the post, ill share it

Most of the industry folks who post in facebook insist there are no safety risks whatsoever, unfortunately. There is even one on the Nuclear Power Plants page promoting the disposal of nuclear waste in our food, because it is "harmless", like "mercury, which also gets a bad rap

wow - the 3D/4D radiation imagery was amazing - interesting to think that this could have been applied in the Fukushima aftermath ... certainly seems that more and more things are headed in this 'virtual' direction!
