Comparison of Risk-Ranking Results for Four Risk-Informed In-Service Inspection Applications
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and its member utilities have been investigating the feasibility of the application of risk-based technologies to reduce nuclear power plant operating and maintenance cost for the past decade. One area that has been shown through actual plant application and implementation to be amenable to this technology is in-service inspection (ISI). Application of risk-based technology together with traditional engineering principles has been termed risk-informed in-service inspection (RI-ISI). This paper will present the results of the application of RI-ISI to a spectrum of plants encompassing each nuclear steam system supplier (NSSS) vendor as well as full- and partial-scope applications.
