Abstract

Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines for reactor internals has been taken into the Rules on Fitness-for–Service for Nuclear Power Plants of The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. It is a base of the maintenance plan of each Nuclear Power Plant. A plant maintenance methodology will have more importance to maintain the plant safety and stable plant operation. This paper introduces the systematization of the maintenance such as repair, replacement, preventive maintenance in these guidelines. Maintenance methodologies are classified follows.

  • Repair : methodology to reinforce degraded parts by some methods or prevent progress of degradation of without replacement of the existing structure when the degradation of structure is actualized.
  • Replacement : methodology to replace the existing structure with new one when the degradation of structure is actualized.
  • Preventive maintenance : methodology to mitigate the damaged condition.

When the maintenance methodologies are implemented in the actual plant, we have to consider the feedback of the inspection program and plant life management.
