These technologies can be more compact and manufactured in factories, offering a scalable and financially feasible solution compared to traditional large-scale nuclear projects.. 2.

This data helps designers plan for the fullest range of complex requirements at the earliest stages, from safety to stakeholder requirements, from operations to maintenance, from re-use and net zero to wider sustainability goals..Platforms enable designers to consider, share and integrate all pertinent data in the earliest design concepts, locking this value in to the DNA of the design, delivery and operation..

Reduced handoffs for reduced risk.Embedding pertinent data in a digital library avoids continual calculations from first principles and sequential issuing.Instead, compliance is pre-baked into the design through rule sets and parameters that are agreed up front by multiple engineers.

From that point on, design compliance can then be either shown systematically against the agreed rule set or even autogenerated against it..The diagram below shows how detailed requirements can be documented and managed through the design process, and compliance validated in the manufacture and assembly phase:.

Rigorous, automated QA gives total confidence in compliance.

Automatic generation of models ensures that the correct components are used and are performing within their defined parameters and also that the data is properly structured and follows all of the information management protocols.. NB Even if the models are not automatically generated, the same principles can be used to create automated workflows e.g.There are a lot of value aspects to be considered when implementing a Design to Value approach.. 1.

Once you’ve identified the problem you’re trying to solve and the value you’d like to achieve, it’s time to start evaluating processes.The first step is to start modelling your project and working out how you’ll use particular processes to achieve your desired value outcomes, as well as to find the optimum balance between them.. 1.
