France: National approach to ageing management
Creators
Description
The EDF lifetime management policy for LTO of the NPPs is based on three main principles: − Regulatory context characterized by 10-year PSR including continuous safety improvement; − Adequate maintenance policy associated with in-service inspections, and performance improvement to increase operational capacities and availability of the units, in compliance with safety requirements; − Ageing and obsolescence management process for main NPP safety related components to cope with ageing degradation mechanisms, including operating experience feedback. The major objective of the AM process is to justify that all the safety related SSCs, concerned by an ageing mechanism, remain within the design and safety criteria, during the whole lifetime of the plants
