This document provides guidelines for the definition of a reliability program at nuclear power generating stations. The document emphasizes reliability programs during the operating phase of such stations; however, the general approach applies to all phases of the nuclear power generating station life cycle (e.g., design, construction, start-up, operating, and decommissioning).
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to describe a basic framework (i.e., the program elements, guidelines on implementation, element interaction, and their scope of application) directed at improving nuclear power generating station performance through the effective implementation of reliability programs. It is oriented toward station availability, encompassing balance-of-plant and safety-related equipment. Effective implementation of these guidelines should also improve plant safety by reducing challenges to safety systems in addition to enhancing reliable operation of the components of those safety systems.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Guidelines for the definition of a reliability program at nuclear power generating stations are developed. Reliability programs during the operating phase of such stations are emphasized; however, the general approach applies to all phases of the nuclear power generating station life cycle (e.g., design, construction, start-up, operating, and decommissioning).
