Navigating Software Qualification in the Nuclear Industry
How to Reduce Risk, Avoid Delays and Navigate Regulatory Requirements
Presenter: Eli Svetanic, Control Systems Designer
Co-presenter: Brandy Van Benthem, Senior Team Lead, Engineering
As software takes on an increasingly important role in modern nuclear systems, qualification activities have become a critical factor in project success. Organizations that underestimate qualification requirements often face schedule delays, increased costs, and challenges obtaining regulatory approval, making software qualification one of the most significant risks in nuclear modernization initiatives.
Join Eli Svetanic and Brandy Van Benthem as they explore the evolving software qualification landscape and discuss the regulatory framework that organizations should be aware of when seeking to qualify software for use in a nuclear application. This session will provide practical guidance to help reduce risk and improve project outcomes, and highlight lessons learned from previous software qualification projects
Key takeaways include:
- Why software qualification is a critical constraint in nuclear modernization projects
- Common pitfalls that delay approvals and increase project risk
- Strategies for navigating qualification requirements more effectively
