Companies that use eSOMS usually limit themselves to the Narrative Logs, Operator Rounds, and Clearance modules. These modules are often only used to emulate paper-based processes from the past. I have demonstrated the eSOMS modules can be used individually or in combination to perform complex processes required in today’s environment.
I have a detailed understanding of the eSOMS database structure, which allows me to develop comprehensive custom Crystal Reports. At my former workplace eSOMS was used to provide a detailed plant status each morning for the Plan-of-the-Day meeting. The report includes risk color and protected equipment, plant parameter values, high priority equipment issues with work order status, limiting conditions for operations, event-free clock values, number of days on/off line, number of days to next outage, and more. This report is drawn from data created in several of the eSOMS modules.
| Module | Process | Purpose |
| Narrative Logs | Operations log, Chemistry log | Log of record |
| Protected equipment log | Plan-of-the Day report | |
| Dose tracking log | Tracks operator acquired dose and compares it to budgeted dose per task | |
| Logs for tracking event-free clock resets | Plan-of-the Day report, Performance Indicator reports | |
| Qualification status of duty personnel using the Learning Management Interface | Assurance of current qualification | |
| Operator Rounds | Operator equipment rounds | Tours of record |
| Process Computer data gathering using the Data Historian Interface | Plan-of-the Day report, Expected Generator Output report | |
| Configuration Control/Deviation Records | Tracking equipment deficiencies “important to Operations” using the Work Management Interface | Plan-of-the Day report, Work down Curve reports |
| LCO Tracking | Tracking time clocks associated with regulatory requirements | Tracking system of record |
| Mode restraint list | Tracking requirements not applicable in the current operating mode but restrain mode changes |
Other Report Examples:
Dose Report - allows Operations to micro-manage their dose from rounds and scheduled and emergent activities. The report is generated from a log that is prepared during the planning weeks and annotated by the operator at execution time.
Configuration Control Event-Free Clock Report - Uses a Narrative Log to track and classify configuration control events. A Crystal Report performs various calculations, including the performance indicator value, and number of days since the last reset for each department. A similar log tracks other event-free clocks in the same manner.
