Empyrean Project Manager over the resolution of over 4000 boxes of backlog records that needed to be indexed, scanned, electronically stored and the originals destroyed. This records backlog occurred after San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station shut down in 2013 permanently after experiencing a number of steam generator tube leaks. As Project Manager my responsibility was to develop a Project Plan to pull all the elements of the project together which included developing a Compliance Matrix that identified all SCE regulatory, industry and business requirements and associated retention times required by those requirements in a table format to address historical records and a path forward for all new decommissioning records, updating the current SONGS records retention schedule and retention requirements, conducting a thorough review of current SONGS procedures and processes governing records management, Reviewing all currently active Records Processing Agreements (RPAs) warehoused at SONGS, evaluating the current SAP-based electronic document management system (EDMS), including input devices (e.g.; scanners, etc.) to ensure compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission document RIS 2000-18, “Guidance on Managing Quality Assurance Records in Electronic Media,” and to evaluate alternatives to store decommissioning records which provides easy, efficient, and secure access to support the decommissioning project, and (6) to assemble a staff to process 4000 boxes of records and to then turn the processing portion of the project over to a Records Management Supervisor. The project is estimated will take one year to complete ending around September 30, 2016. My 3 month assignment ended in December 2015.
