It provides the customer with a customizable environment for management of nuclear plant licensing information. WIZNUKE is delivered based on a model of the NRC’s Standard Review Approach for nuclear plant design including One-Step Licensing and the use of “Inspections, Test, Analyses and Acceptance Criteria” (ITAAC) for operational programs.

WIZMON ~ NRC/NERC Compliant Cyber Security ~ The WIZMON tool is an appliance designed to assess and implement emerging NERC and NRC cyber security requirements, in a phased approach, for access outside the Electronic Security Perimeter. It is a fully NIST compliant tool that delivers the customer’s current and legacy applications in a cyber-secure environment.

New York, NY – November 9, 2009. Wiznucleus has launched the company's commitments management software solution for state regulators who are responsible, either directly or in an oversight role, for compliance issues related to the operations of a nuclear power plant.

Wizdom State™ system provides state government agencies with the ability to centrally manage compliance requirements. The system includes a comprehensive “Executive Dashboard” that allows state regulators to quickly assess the status and timing of requirements. It provides reminders to ensure critical activities (deliverable dates, status update points, etc.) are never missed.

Wizdom State™ maintains a “change-by-change” log of all modifications made to any data in the system ensuring the chain-of-accountability is maintained and sends an alert to the responsible individual if any requirement data or parameters are changed.

The State of Vermont is one of the customers using Wizdom State™. Wiznucleus is supporting the Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS) through the development of a computer-based requirements management/commitment tracking system. The system will allow the DPS to have the status of commitments/requirements at their fingertips related to the Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee (ENVY) plant. The system will also be used as a proactive scheduling tool for related monitoring actions, status reports, follow up actions, etc.

Wiznucleus expects to show its Wizdom State™ product at the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting Nov 15-17. Wiznucleus will have a booth in the exhibitors' hall Sunday-Tuesday.

Wiznucleus Product Suite announced

Wiznucleus Announces New IT Platform For Nuclear Plants

Platform will reduce plants' operational and licensing risks by more than 50%
New York City-based Wiznucleus, a provider of next-generation technology solutions to the energy industry, has announced that it has developed an advanced information technology platform that will help nuclear power plants operate more effectively, and help plant operators balance risk and regulation compliance decisions better.

Wiznucleus' Enterprise Suite of Products is a knowledge-based, risk-informed platform designed to enable nuclear power plant technicians to intelligently track, store, manage, and utilize plant-critical information such as an inventory of all plant equipment, warranties on plant systems, a history of all plant modifications, and the complete range of requirements under which nuclear plants must operate.

The company created the product after studying the international nuclear energy sector and realizing that nuclear sector equipment vendors, technicians, and architect engineers want to share information between themselves more rapidly than they presently do.

Bruce Hinkley, Wiznucleus' Managing Director of their Nuclear Services practice, says that the company's Enterprise Suite of Products will support the real-time critical information needs of nuclear power plants while simultaneously reducing plants' operational and licensing risks by more than 50%.

"We will help nuclear facilities worldwide to perform at an even higher level by mitigating risks related to new plant cost, schedule and operation," Hinkley said.

Hinkley notes that demand for Wiznucleus' platform is palatable as the international nuclear energy sector is a $200 billion market and is expanding.

"Two European Pressurized Reactors are under construction in Europe. China is also planning to build two European Pressurized Reactors. In 2008, the Department of Energy announced the availability of loan guarantees for $18.5 billion in financing for new power reactor projects. In response to this, the agency received requests for $122 billion in loan guarantees for 14 projects totaling 21 reactors," notes Hinkley.

Krish Shetty, CEO of Wiznucleus, said: "Our technology will transform the way current and future nuclear power plants create, modify, share, and store information during all phases of their lifecycle - from licensing to decommissioning.

Also, Wiznucleus will enable nuclear plant partners, suppliers, and customers to more efficiently meet and accelerate project work schedules, while also lowering their budgets and improving performance through cycle time reductions resulting from real-time information, and risk management."

Wiznucleus, partnered with Beckman and Associates, to develop the product. Wiznucleus’ Enterprise Product Suite is scheduled to be delivered in-between the third and fourth quarters of 2009.
