Spare parts procurement program for Byron/Braidwood Nuclear Power Stations
Description
This paper outlines the engineering effort being undertaken for Byron/Braidwood Nuclear Power Station to develop a comprehensive Spare Parts Procurement Program which will significantly reduce the maintenance costs associated with the Plants' safety-related components. The Byron and Braidwood Nuclear Power Stations are owned and operated by Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO), Chicago, Illinois. Each station consists of two Westinghouse, Four Loop PWR units, with 1176 MW gross electrical output for each unit. The two stations are identical in design, except for the ultimate heat sink. Byron utilizes cooling towers, whereas Braidwood uses a cooling lake. This paper describes the reasons behind this effort, the objectives, and the approach adopted to accomplishing the goals
