CLIENT ISSUE/PROBLEM

SNC is working with Westinghouse at Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 to implement the first-of-a-kindAP1000 in the United States, and with new digital systems throughout the plant, as opposed the conventional approach of analog controls and systems., the result is a first-of-a-kind precedent for both the Southern Nuclear fleet and the industry.

With this FOAK project, SNC is one of the first utilities approved by the NRC to utilize the electric power Research Institute Technical Assessment Methodology (EPRI TAM) for Cyber Security.

SOLUTION

Only after the candidate passed the BCP interview process, the candidate was submitted to SNC for a final interview and potential acceptance.

Because BCP engaged in a significant and extensive interview process, SNC management interview and selection time were reduced significantly from traditional methods, saving time, energy, and costs. Because of the relationship trust and our deep bench of talent, BCP can handle and respond to CyberSecurity needs within days to SNC requests and handles all human resource/employee issues with this staff.
