Power plant reliability assurance is defined as those efforts required to achieve a predetermined level of reliability, and involves the reliability of equipment, personnel, and operating procedures. Each of these items is discussed. It is concluded that under the heading of reliability assurance the following should be done: set a goal for plant availability; determine what planned outage time must be allowed; determine the allowable forced outage rate; based on the systems and equipment required for plant operation, set failure rate and repair time limits; check each limit against expected equipment reliability and expected corrective maintenance times; institute improvements where necessary and be sure of proper plans, procedure, personnel, etc.; and standardize the design when proven acceptable. This approach will, in the long run, result in greater productivity at minimum cost.
