Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging application of risk-based assessment technology to the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants holds considerable promise for improving efficiency and reducing operating costs. EBR-II is liquid-metal-cooled fast reactor which operated for thirty years before shutting down in September 1994 due to program termination. Prior to the shutdown of EBR-II, an in-service inspection (ISI) program was developed that exploited certain advantages of the liquid-metal reactor design, e.g., demonstrated passive response to plant upset events, low pressure primary coolant and compatibility of the coolant and reactor materials. Many of the systems cannot be inspected due to inaccessibility of the components. However, application of a risk-based approach provided the basis for reducing or eliminating inspections in some areas that would otherwise be required. Development and implementation of the risk-based ISI program was interrupted by the DOE-mandated shutdown of EBR-II, so the potential benefits of this approach in terms of reduced O and M costs have yet to be realized. Through the development of this program, however it is clear that there is potential for substantial cost-savings while improving the risk-profile of the facility through this approach.

This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, fourth in the series, Risk-Based Inspection: Development Of Guidelines, is a companion to the previously published volume 2, Part 1. Volume 2 - Part 2, in addition to making a number of recommendations to Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (hereinafter referred to as the Code, or the BPVC), to industry, and to regulatory agencies, it: Describes and recommends a risk-based selection process for application to piping that is subjected to or has the potential to be subjected to the inservice inspection (ISI) requirements of Section XI of the Code; Provides information to support the implementation of risk-based inspection; Describes results of initial plant-specific pilot applications for the Surry-1 and Millstone-3 plants; Summarizes industry operating experience that can assist in the critical step of estimating component failure probabilities; Provides results from Structural Reliability/Risk Analyses (SRRA), which show how inspection strategies for high safety-significant components can de developed and how SRRA calculations can be used to estimate the expected effectiveness of alternative strategies toward reducing failure probabilities for a wide range of applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of nuclear power plants in the United States is stopping, as regulators, reactor manufacturers, and operators sort out a host of technical and institutional problems. This volume summarizes the status of nuclear power, analyzes the obstacles to resumption of construction of nuclear plants, and describes and evaluates the technological alternatives for safer, more economical reactors. Topics covered include: Institutional issues-including regulatory practices at the federal and state levels, the growing trends toward greater competition in the generation of electricity, and nuclear and nonnuclear generation options. Critical evaluation of advanced reactors-covering attributes such as cost, construction time, safety, development status, and fuel cycles. Finally, three alternative federal research and development programs are presented.
