NEI 08-09 Modernization

Bring NEI 08-09 into the modern era — automated CDA governance, architecture realignment, and evidence-ready workflows designed for nuclear utilities.

Four Pillars of Modernization
01
CDA Governance Modernization
Automate CDA basis, classification, and lifecycle tracking to maintain audit-ready evidence.
02
Defensive Architecture Realignment
Reconcile zones, conduits and pathways so architecture reflects current operations.
03
Digital Asset & Dependency Modeling
Map asset interdependencies to better prioritize modernization tasks and inspections.
04
Documentation & Evidence Refresh
Produce consistent, inspector-ready documentation aligned to NEI 08-09 expectations.
Key Value Drivers
Updated Interpretation Alignment
Align program guidance to current NEI and NRC interpretations to reduce compliance gaps.​
Consistency Across Assets
Standardize CDA and control definitions across units and systems to remove variability.
Reduced Engineering Load
Automate repeated tasks and streamline evidence production for assessments.
Deep Dives
CDA Governance Modernization
Improve classification accuracy and maintain traceability across the CDA lifecycle.
01 Automated identification & scoring
02 Basis justification templates
03 Change logs and drift detection
Defensive Architecture Modernization
Ensure pathway accuracy and firewall alignment for credible evidence.
01 Zone modeling & verification
02 Rule-to-pathway checks
03 Pathway evidence generation

Modernization Workflow

A guided path to update your NEI 08-09 program evaluate, implement, document.
