Ideagen and NuGen ready to power forward with Europe's largest new nuclear development

Ideagen PLC (AIM: IDEA), a leading supplier of Information Management software to highly regulated industries, is pleased to announce that it has been selected to provide Compliance and Quality Management Systems to NuGen, a joint venture between Toshiba and GDF SUEZ.

NuGen's Moorside project will develop a new generation nuclear power station of up to 3.4 GW on land in West Cumbria (North West England) which is expected to generate 7% of the U.K's electricity supply. The project is forecast to create between 14,000 and 21,000 UK jobs. The project will become the UK's biggest new nuclear output from a single site - and Europe's largest new nuclear construction plan. When fully operational, NuGen's three Moorside reactors will deliver enough low-carbon electricity to power six million homes.

Ideagen will implement an electronic document & quality management system (eD/QMS) using Workbench software. Fully integrated modules will allow reporting and recording of quality procedures such as audits; corrective and preventative actions (CAPA); and formal change controls. In addition, Workbench will provide a global training and competencies management platform for all NuGen staff. The new eD/QMS will help NuGen meet regulatory and customer compliance requirements and support planned expansion activities.

David Hornsby, Ideagen Chief Executive commented: 

"The resurgent Nuclear Energy sector continues to be a key market for Ideagen and we are seeing progress on a number of high-profile projects. We look forward to a beneficial long term relationship working with the NuGen team to deliver a world-class system to support quality, safety, compliance and operational efficiency."
