I hve been isolated in the DOE world for over a decade now. About three or four years ago we began to document using software called pro-rad. Its an on going process but its working. Introducing something new at a DOE site is like pushing a rope uphill. What is documentation like in the commercial world? I miss it and if I am not completely worthless, would like to return one day.

The good plants are using pro-rad type.... (soon coming to my plant...) ;)
the die hards still use paper, :D
the bad just give turnover, and not enough documentation to prove anything.... :o

Remember who you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true.
Remember that you will die, and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live, may the blessing of the Lord be with you

Many plants are moving toward electronic documentation. Pro-Rad is one example but I have seen others as well as some "one-off" versions that were developed in-house. I wouldn't be surprised to see all plants doing it this way in the near future, it makes a bunch of sense.

My personal experience with it tells me that a user-friendly software system to document surveys encourages more documentation from the field. Hatch nuclear plant has one of the easiest systems I have used called Radis (spelling?). You can do a quickie job, go to a computer and document it and send it off for approval in literally 2-3 minutes. Minor jobs that many techs would not sit down and take the time to document now take no time at all and you don't even have to get out of your PC's to do it. This also does away with handwriting legibility issues. I think it's the cats meow, even though I miss writing up a survey by hand, this is much more efficient.
