This report defines the nuclear plant operational data required to support plant life extension (PLEX) evaluations. The purpose to this report is to assist utilities in assessing how well their plant data capture and preservation methods match up with data needs for a PLEX program. The report also examines the adequacy of existing industry data bases for PLEX purposes, and provides an in-depth review of the PLEX-critical plant chemistry data. Recommendations are provided for future evaluations of aging indicators,'' data base improvements and data collection methods, based on the project findings. 12 refs., 23 figs., 8 tabs.
