    Configuration Management
        The process of identifying and documenting the characteristics of a
        facility's structures, systems and components (including computer
        systems and software), and of ensuring that changes to these
        characteristics are properly incorporated into the facility
        documentation. :cite:p:`agencyInformationTechnologyNuclear2010`

    Controlled document
        Documents whose content is maintained uniform among the copies by an
        administrative control system. The goal of controlling documents is to
        ensure that work is performed using approved current information, not
        obsolete information. Important documents to be controlled are uniquely
        identified (including revision number, date, and specific copy number),
        and distribution is formally controlled. Revisions to controlled
        documents are uniquely tracked and implemented, including mandatory page
        replacements and receipt acknowledgment. Controlled documents typically
        include procedures for operations, surveillance, and maintenance, and
        safety basis documents such as the SAR, and hazard and accident
        analyses. :cite:p:`agencyInformationTechnologyNuclear2010`

    Design basis
        The range of conditions and events taken explicitly into account in the
        design of a facility, according to established criteria, such that the
        facility can withstand them without exceeding authorized limits by the
        planned operation of safety systems.
        :cite:p:`agencyInformationTechnologyNuclear2010`

    Design control 
        Measures established to ensure that the information from design input
        and design process documents for structures, systems, and components is
        correctly translated into the final design.
        :cite:p:`agencyInformationTechnologyNuclear2010`

    Document
        A written collection of information, instructions, drawings,
        specifications, etc. that is *maintained* throughout the
        design/operation/decommissioning of the facility.  Differs from a
        *record* in that it is expected to be *maintained* by revisions as
        needed. See :need:`R_APPB_45`

    Record
        A written collection of information providing evidence of
        work that was done at a specific time. Records are expected
        to be *retained* for a certain retention period, e.g. 
        for the lifetime of the plant or for a given number of years.
