An Integrated Simulator for the Maintenance Optimization of Light Water Reactors
Keyword(s):
An attempt was made to develop an integrated simulator for maintenance optimization of LWRs (Light Water Reactors) based on PFM (Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics). The concept of the simulator is to provide a method to optimize maintenance activities for representative components and piping systems in nuclear power plants totally and quantitatively in terms of safety, availability and economic efficiency (both from cost and profit). The simulator will also provide a guideline regarding social acceptance of risk-based decision makings. This study has been conducted under “Innovative and Viable Nuclear Energy Technology (IVNET) Development Project” financially supported by Japanese METI.
