OTI Onsite Audits
All procedures and activities related to the quality of ETAP software are subject to audits. Qualified auditors periodically assess the program in order to detect any deviations from the complied standards and evaluate effectiveness of the existing plans and procedures. Audit reports are properly documented and are subject to audits conducted by our nuclear clients and ISO 9001:2000 certification assessments.

Nuclear Conference
The ETAP Nuclear Utility Conference provides a discussion platform for its member institutions and representatives where items related to ETAP software can be shared and discussed in relation to the nuclear power industry.

Nuclear Symposium
The purpose of the ETAP Nuclear Utility Symposium is to provide feedback and suggestions directly to OTI's R&D group to develop detailed specifications for future modules. The symposium provides the opportunity to focus on requirements and needs specific to the nuclear industry. For example, the Control Systems Diagram module was developed based on specifications discussed at previous symposiums.
