Maintenance Index for System Safety Assessment for Aging Nuclear Power Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, called the “the maintenance index,” was proposed to evaluate the reliability of nuclear power plant safety systems by taking into account periodic maintenance of the systems. The change in reliability as a result of changing activity is estimated by this index. The Maintenance Index offers a more comprehensive evaluation of nuclear power plant safety. * Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected]

Approaches are described for incorporating component aging reliability models into a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), or probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), of a nuclear power plant. These approaches and procedures are described from a technical standpoint and are not to be interpreted as having any regulatory implications. Component aging failure rate models and test and maintenance agi...
