"We use FAC Manager for several reasons: First, it is V&Ved, so we can use it to evaluate inspections on Safety-Related components. Second, its multi-user capability allows us to share FAC events data between sites. Finally, it gives us a consistent way of doing business at all ten sites, so a FAC Engineer from one site can support another site's outage without a learning curve.

CSI has done a great job supporting us. They installed and tested FAC Manager at each site, and their technical support line is answered by an actual human being, someone who knows the software and can solve problems immediately."

"We are a CANDU plant and refuel online, therefore our operating cycles vary in length. Our version of FAC Manager accounts for this with dynamic reinspection scheduling: The UT data is evaluated during the outage based on estimated future cycle lengths. A bulk recalculation based on actual capacity factor is performed later, to firm up the reinspection dates.

We also use FAC Manager to track thinning in our feeder [primary side] piping.

A particular advantage is that, because of its open database architecture, our engineers can write custom queries and reports as needed.

CSI has been responsive to our requests, and provided clear and helpful technical support."

"FAC Manager allows us to evaluate and disposition UT and RT inspection data very quickly, which is especially important now that outages are getting shorter. We use FAC Manager because it makes us more efficient, and because the interface and reports were tailored to our needs. For example, the Outage Summary Report was specifically formatted to satisfy our procedural requirements for post-outage documentation, and can be generated in just a few minutes."

"Using FAC Manager software and BWR VIP-75 approval reduced [our inspection] scope 75%."
