CRBRP design for maintainability
A one-half-inch-to-a-foot scale model of the plant is the central tool for assessing the maintainability of the design. As individual systems and components are placed on the model, an evaluation is made to optimize maintenance access. Later the model is reviewed on an area basis to insure that mutual access is afforded to all components located within each cell and that maintenance platform configurations and laydown are provided space for component disassembly. Maintenance access requirements for equipment such as automatic welding machines or ultrasonic inspection tools, tube withdrawal areas for heat exchangers or other maintenance actions requiring major space are considered. Procedure outlines were developed and are being continually updated to describe all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities.
