CASE STUDY – LICENSE RENEWAL PROJECT
BCP was hired with little over a year to make Oconee Station ready for the inspection and the subsequent PEO. We provided new project management and technical expertise to a struggling project. Our team was able to successfully plan, manage, and orchestrate resources to successfully support transitioning Oconee into the PEO.
From a regulatory standpoint, there were a total of 74 commitments of which 56 were open, 38 of which were reopened, and 26 contained a significant and large numbers of deficiencies. The project scope included 33 credited AMPs, 11 credited OTIs, 15 TLAAs, and 15 credited preventative maintenance activities.
BCP developed and implemented, among other innovative concepts, a change management plan; contractor knowledge transfer to a plant operating staff; and the use of Challenge Boards to prepare for the PEO.
