Luminant Energy successfully deploys MRule Manager at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power plant.

Glen Rose, Texas – In an effort to upgrade their Maintenance Rule program at Comanche Peak Luminant has worked with Insert Key Solutions (IKS) to implement their commercial software, MRule Manager ^TM.   MRule Manager ^TM will help facilitate the Maintenance Rule program at Comanche Peak by increasing the visibility of Maintenance Rule-related information.  The tool provides easy access for system engineers to validate failures and unavailability hours against their maintenance rule-related systems.  The tool will give them real-time feedback as to what performance criteria are exceeded or in alert.  It will also provide Luminant a central location for tracking (a)(1) Goal records, Function scoping information and Expert Panel meeting minutes and decisions.
