Management of Life Cycle and Ageing at Nuclear Power Plants

Provides information on ageing, obsolescence and performance monitoring of those items of instrumentation and control equipment that are classified as safety equipment and/or safety related equipment, are operated in harsh environments in NPPs, and are important to plant life extension.

The goal of this publication is to provide the latest information on ageing, obsolescence and performance monitoring of those items of instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment that are classified as safety equipment and/or safety related equipment, are operated in harsh environments in NPPs, and are important to plant life extension not only for normal operation but also, and more importantly, for post-accident service. In achieving this goal, this publication identifies the key I&C components of interest that are expected to function well throughout the life of a plant, including the extended life.
