In this article availability information contained within the Centralized Reliability Data Organization (CREDO) liquid-metal reactor (LMR) data base is presented, and the availability critical items lists are developed. Individual components are ranked in prioritized lists from worst to best performers from an availability standpoint. Availability, as used here, is assumed to be an inherent characteristic of the component and is not necessarily assumed to be related to plant operability.
