A maintenance program to address recurrent safety channel failures in a nonpower reactor environment

Creators

Description

The purpose of this work was to design and implement a three-phase corrective and diagnostic maintenance program to address a recurrent loss of the safety channel 1 (SC-1) indication on the University of Florida training reactor (UFTR) to enable the timely return of the unit to operational status within the financial and manpower constraints of a university reactor facility. The scenario for and the results of the forced outage for this recurring SC-1 failure are presented in this paper to contrast the environment encountered for maintenance outages between power reactors and midsize nonpower (university) reactors
