Download or read book Integrated Approach to Optimize Operation and Maintenance Costs for Operrating Nuclear Power Plants written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by IAEA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasingly competitive environment of the electricity sector has significant implications for nuclear power plant (NPP) operations. Management objectives must be focused on efficient operation as the key to profitability. The business and financial success of operating NPPs must be given greater consideration through an integrated approach which also ensures the successful achievement of safety and reliability objectives. In developing strategic and operational goals, nuclear plant managers will be required to embrace and articulate clear and measurable business objectives and goals which not only assure the achievement of safety and reliability but also eliminate unnecessary costs and identify investment opportunities. This publication looks at the optimization of the costs as an integrated part of the management of organization business process with a focus on planning (strategic and tactical) and on controlling (control system, corrective actions and pay reward) functions.--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steam Generators for Nuclear Power Plants examines all phases of the lifecycle of nuclear steam generators (NSGs), components which are essential for the efficient and safe operation of light water reactors (LWRs). Coverage spans the design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, fitness-for-service, and long-term operation of these key reactor parts. Part One opens with a chapter that provides fundamental background on NSG engineering and operational experiences. Following chapters review the different NSG concepts, describe NSG design and manufacturing, and consider the particularities of SGs for VVER reactors. Part Two focuses on NSG operation and maintenance, starting with an overview of the activities required to support reliable and safe operation. The discussion then moves on to tubing vibration, followed by the water and steam cycle chemistry issues relevant to the NSG lifecycle. Finally, a number of chapters focus on the key issue of corrosion in NSGs from different angles. This book serves as a timely resource for professionals involved in all phases of the NSG lifecycle, from design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, to fitness-for-service and long-term operation. It is also intended as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in a range of topics relating to NSG lifecycle management. - Fulfills the need for a detailed reference on steam generators for nuclear power plants - Contains comprehensive coverage of all phases of the nuclear steam generator lifecycle, from design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, to fitness-for-service and long-term operation in one convenient volume - Presents contributions from key manufacturers and research institutes and universities

This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication addresses inspection basics, concepts and methods on how to plan inspection activities, perform inspections of safety related structures, systems and components, evaluate the safety significance of inspection findings, and document the results. It presents high level considerations for the inspection of selected programmatic areas including plant operations, radiation protection, fire protection and maintenance activities at nuclear power plants (NPPs). The publication focuses on the regulatory inspection of operating NPPs and, when applicable, describes how the same inspection techniques can be applied to facilities undergoing construction, preoperational testing, and decommissioning. The general techniques described may be also used in the inspection of other types of nuclear facilities.

Download or read book Application of Reliability Centred Maintenance to Optimize Operation and Maintenance in Nuclear Power Plants written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication describes the concept of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) which is the term used to describe a systematic approach to the evaluation, design and development of cost effective maintenance programs for plant and equipment. The concept has been in existence for over 25 years originating in the civil aviation sector. The process focuses on the functionality of the plant and equipment and the critical failure mechanisms that could result in the loss of functionality. When employed effectively the process can result in the elimination of unnecessary maintenance activities and the identification and introduction of measures to address deficiencies in the maintenance program. Overall the process can result in higher levels of reliability for the plant and equipment at reduced cost and demands on finite maintenance resources. The application of the process requires interaction between the operators and the maintenance practitioners which is often lacking in traditional maintenance programs. The imposition of this discipline produces the added benefit of improved information flows between the key players in plant and equipment management with the result that maintenance activities and operational practices are better informed.--Publisher's description.
