Project:
471 - Springfield Nuclear New-Build Initiative
Description:
The evolving safety case may drift out of alignment with the engineering design baseline, creating uncertainty over whether the physical plant and the justified plant are still the same thing.
Desired Outcome:
The safety case, design baseline, requirements set, and change records remain aligned and demonstrably traceable throughout the project lifecycle.
What Could Go Wrong:
Construction or procurement proceeds against a baseline that no longer matches the assumptions in the safety case or key safety submissions.
Current Situation:
Major projects often develop design and safety narratives in adjacent teams, and alignment can degrade as changes accumulate.
Action Strategy:
Maintain explicit traceability between safety claims, requirements, system design, procurement packages, and approved changes; require visible reconciliation at each key maturity gate.
