Abstract

The nuclear power industry and the government agencies recognize that the growing maturity of nuclear plants, as well as concern for plant outages, necessitates attention to surveillance and maintenance. This paper provides an overview of reliability based maintenance which is available to reduce (optimize) plant costs while maintaining or enhancing plant safety. Categorization of the various types of nuclear plant maintenance is provided as a foundation for maintenance program definition. A technique for maintenance feasibility review is presented, using a decision logic tree to assist the engineering and maintenance staff.
