Atomic Energy of Canada Limited or AECL is a Canadian federal Crown corporation with the responsibility of managing Canada's national nuclear energy research and development program, (AECL AECL Atomic Energy of Canada Limited AECL Agroecology AECL Aircraft & Equipment Configuration List AECL Administrative Exposure Control Level ), a full service nuclear technology company providing services to nuclear utilities around the world, has signed a multi-year agreement to integrate Intergraph's SmartPlant(R) Enterprise with AECL's other project delivery application tools. The integrated engineering Integrated Engineering is a multi-disciplinary, design project based engineering degree program. Integrated Engnineering is a program created to meet the demand for engineers who are able to deal with a wide range of problems, often involving knowledge from several environment, including SmartPlant 3D, will be deployed across the company to integrate engineering and analysis, modeling and design, materials management Materials management is the branch of logistics that deals with the tangible components of a supply chain. Specifically, this covers the acquisition of spare parts and replacements, quality control of purchasing and ordering such parts, and the standards involved in ordering, and project implementation, and information management for their Advanced CANDU Reactors (ACR-1000(TM)). The ACR-1000 is an evolutionary, Generation III+, 1200 MWe class pressure tube reactor, designed to meet industry and public expectations for safe, reliable, environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] and low-cost nuclear generation. SmartPlant Enterprise and SmartPlant 3D will play a critical role in AECL's ACR-1000 projects, providing AECL with advanced plant design environment based on a data-centric, rule-driven architecture. By integrating key engineering disciplines, the resulting environment offers vast improvements over the constraints imposed by traditional plant design systems. These improvements represent substantial gains and productivity as well as valuable savings in project engineering, manufacturing and construction. "We looked at many competitive systems, but ultimately chose SmartPlant Enterprise, particularly SmartPlant 3D, because no other enterprise system provided us the productivity gains possible with the Intergraph system," said Stephen Yu, AECL general manager, ACR See riser card. Product Development. "The integrated, yet modular approach that Intergraph has chosen with SmartPlant Enterprise fits our ACR-1000 product engineering and project delivery strategy and our long-term vision in the nuclear market." "We have made substantial investments in technology to shorten production schedule, boost productivity and increase the engineering quality of next generation, clean-air, green and safe nuclear reactors," said Gerhard Sallinger, president of Intergraph's Process, Power and Marine division. "AECL's selection of Intergraph's SmartPlant Enterprise suite is once again a validation of our industry and technology leadership as the premier provider of plant engineering and design technology in the rapidly growing nuclear power industry."
