Geography Bruce Power Bruce Power 3
Largest Nuclear Facility In The World • 8 units in operatjon since 2012 • 6300 megawatus • 30 % of the total power for the province of Ontario • Refurbishment of units 1 & 2 enabled the province to close its coal plants 4
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) More Than Just A Map • Locatjon Matuers • Integratjon • Informatjon As An Asset • Common Operatjng Picture • The Map as a Portal • Time Enabled • Empowerment • Decision Support • Informatjon Management • Adaptjve, Responsive and Flexible • Communitjes of Users • Multj-Agency Collaboratjon 5
GIS at Bruce Power • Late adopter - a paper and CAD mindset • GIS ofgers a new vision for managing informatjon about the site • Aim for a commercial approach for non-nuclear facilitjes • Paradigm shifu from drawings as ‘controlled documents’ to records in a ‘controlled database’ • We have begun in the Property Management Department… 6

Digital Declaration Data for Nuclear Sites Consider: • Promotjng the adoptjon of GIS for sites and its potentjal benefjts • Providing tools for translatjon of local formats and the GES standard data model • Is it viable to web-enable GIS tools to allow operators to manage their data in a cloud environment? 23
Challenges Resistance to Change: “When new technologies impose themselves on cultures long habituated to older technologies, anxietjes of all kinds exists.” - Marshall McLuhan Red Queen Efgect: "in this place it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." - Lewis Carrol Foundatjon building: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must fjrst invent the universe." - Carl Sagan 24
The Up Side • GIS is a mature, proven technology • There is a wealth of experience • The tools are easy to learn for end users • There are many cost-efgectjve technical optjons • The frontjer of change lies with Partnership and Collaboratjon 25
