What's in a Safety Case?

[mP4] A Y2K project is one of resource and record management; these should be seen to be properly and systematically managed. This, of course, means providing an auditable trail enabling all systems to be unambiguously traced to their eventual outturns. There should be a documented strategy, project plan and Quality Assurance (QA) plan. All activities should be covered by documented procedures and guidance to ensure completeness and consistency. The emphasis of all guidance should be that of positive demonstration with safety as the central focus.

[mP7] Prior to each of the critical dates, the licensee should produce a justifi cation for continued operation (JfCO) beyond each of these critical dates. This justification should show that the inventory was properly established; the investigation was comprehensive and thor ough; the solutions are appropriate (and safe) and properly tested; and that the contingen cy plans (including supply chain management) are appropriate.
