Reliability and Maintainability Data for Liquid Metal Cooling Systems

Conference Cadwallader, Lee Charles

One of the coolants of interest for future fusion breeding blankets is lead-lithium. As a liquid metal it offers the advantages of high temperature operation for good station efficiency, low pressure, and moderate flow rate. This coolant is also under examination for use in test blanket modules to be used in the ITER international project. To perform reliability, availability, maintainability and inspectability (RAMI) assessment as well as probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of lead-lithium cooling systems, component failure rate data are needed to quantify the system models. RAMI assessment also requires repair time data and inspection time data. This paper presentsmore »« less

Operating Experiences from Existing Fusion Facilities in View of ITER Safety and Reliability

Journal Article Pinna, T ; Cadwallader, L - Fusion Engineering and Design

The objective of this ongoing activity is to develop a fusion specific component failure rate database useful to quantify probabilistic safety assessment, support traditional safety analysis, quantify reliability, availability, maintainability, and inspectability (RAMI) analyses, and support any other uses where field experience can provide feedback to fusion facility design and operation. The activity supported by European, American, and Japanese programs is established in the context of the International Energy Agency Agreement on the Environmental, Safety and Economic Aspects of Fusion Power (IEA ESE). The data collection began in 1989. At first, it was to "harvest" already-published data from high-technology industriesmore »« less

Review and categorization of existing studies on the estimation of probabilistic failure metrics for Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary piping and steam generator tubes in Nuclear Power Plants

Journal Article Cheng, Wen-Chi ; Sakurahara, Tatsuya ; Zhang, Sai ; ... - Progress in Nuclear Energy

This article presents the first output of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project (CRP), titled Methodology for Assessing Pipe Failure Rates in Advanced Water-Cooled Reactors (AWCRs), launched in 2018. This IAEA CRP is aimed at developing a good-practices document for estimating the probabilistic failure metrics of piping in AWCRs. The reliability of piping that comprise the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB) is important for maintaining safe and stable operations of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) because failure of those piping components could lead to undesirable consequences, such as plant shutdown, costly repair, the occurrence of Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (LOCAs)more »« less

Application of reliability-centered maintenance to boiling water reactor emergency core cooling systems fault-tree analysis

Journal Article Choi, Y A ; Feltus, M A - Nuclear Technology

Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) methods are applied to boiling water reactor plant-specific emergency core cooling system probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) fault trees. The RCM is a technique that is system function-based, for improving a preventive maintenance (PM) program, which is applied on a component basis. Many PM programs are based on time-directed maintenance tasks, while RCM methods focus on component condition-directed maintenance tasks. Stroke time test data for motor-operated valves (MOVs) are used to address three aspects concerning RCM: (a) to determine if MOV stroke time testing was useful as a condition-directed PM task; (b) to determine and compare the plant-specificmore »« less
System fatigue reliability and inspection planning for offshore platforms

Conference Zimmermann, J J ; Banon, H

This paper summarizes research conducted on probabilistic fatigue analysis with applications toward system reliability assessment and inspection planning. A probabilistic model for fatigue life prediction is introduced and used to estimate component and system reliability. Methodologies are developed for reliability-based inspection of offshore structures. Using a probabilistic model, joint and system reliability analyses were conducted through Monte Carlo simulation to study the safety of a generic population of joints in a platform. A methodology was developed that allows tracking of the reliability of the system through the lifetime of the structure while taking into account inspection results and repairs. Thismore »« less
