Abstract

The lecture provides an overview of considerations relevant for achieving highly reliable operation of accelerator based user facilities. The article starts with an overview of statistical reliability formalism which is followed by high reliability design considerations with examples. Finally, the article closes with operational aspects of high reliability such as preventive maintenance and spares inventory.

Applicability of Operational Research Techniques in CANDU Nuclear Plant Maintenance

Conference Doyle, E Kevin

As previously reported at ICONE 6 in New Orleans, 1996, and ICONE 9 in Niece, 2001, the use of various maintenance optimization techniques at Bruce has lead to cost effective preventive maintenance applications for complex systems. Innovative practices included greatly reducing Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) costs while maintaining the accuracy of the analysis. The optimization strategy has undergone further evolution and at the present an Integrated Maintenance Program (IMP) is being put in place. Further cost refinement of the station preventive maintenance strategy whereby decisions are based on statistical analysis of historical failure data is being evaluated. A wide rangemore »« less
Comprehensive maintenance program ensures reliable operation

Journal Article Barber, F ; Hilberg, G - Power Engineering (Barrington)

Preventing unplanned equipment failure and subsequent outages while increasing plant availability and capacity factors are critical to the long-term profitability and performance of independent power producers (IPP). For example, at most of the facilities operated by North American Services (North American), there are contractual penalties for loss of plant availability and capacity. Additionally, if the plant is a cogeneration facility, such penalties apply to the loss of steam as well as electricity. To the steam customer, this loss interrupts the manufacturing process and erodes confidence in steam service reliability. In order to meet customer expectations in the areas of plantmore »« less

Amoco is using reliability centered maintenance to improve gas processing plant rotating equipment operations

Conference Reddick, S L

Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a process that can be used to define the maintenance requirements for any piece of plant equipment while considering the operating practices and conditions. This process has mainly been used on the rotating equipment in Amoco`s gas processing plants. The reliability centered maintenance process has been used to assure that proper preventive and predictive maintenance procedures are used to minimize more expensive corrective maintenance. In the reliability review,s teams of operators, mechanics, engineers, and original equipment manufacturer`s personnel determine what the plant operators and maintenance personnel need to do to maximize the rotating equipment availability,more »« less
Physics and technology considerations for the deuterium–tritium fuel cycle and conditions for tritium fuel self sufficiency

Journal Article Abdou, Mohamed ; Riva, Marco ; Ying, Alice ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

The tritium aspects of the DT fuel cycle embody some of the most challenging feasibility and attractiveness issues in the development of fusion systems. The review and analyses in this paper provide important information to understand and quantify these challenges and to define the phase space of plasma physics and fusion technology parameters and features that must guide a serious R&D in the world fusion program. We focus in particular on components, issues and R&D necessary to satisfy three 'principal requirements': (1) achieving tritium self-sufficiency within the fusion system, (2) providing a tritium inventory for the initial start-up of amore »« less
