Adequate emergency response to nuclear accident in nuclear power plant is a critical way to ensure the safety of human health and environment. Therefore, it is all along one of the key questions for the industry that what means the capability of a licensee of NPP that is good enough for a victorious response to an accident. The paper will introduce the research and development of a software platform to help evaluate the capability of NPP's response to nuclear accident using the philosophy and method proposed by the team in charge of developing the mechanism to evaluate licensee's capability of emergency preparedness and response. The functions required by the evaluation software platform are described, including user administration, performance indicator calculation, data maintenance, administration of inspection findings resources, representation of evaluation results, internal management, comprehensive assess, maintenance of information on NPPs, maintenance of evaluation criteria and so on. How these functions are implemented in software engineering is also presented.
