Ageing management for I and C on French NPP
Description
The French operator, Electricite de France, has undertaken various actions to anticipate ageing and obsolescence of the instrumentation and control (I and C) installed on its nuclear power plant (NPP). The French Safety Authority (DGSNR) and its independent assessors at the 'Institute de Radioprotection et de Surete Nucleaire' (IRSN) have been kept informed and have followed in particular the actions affecting the safety and safety related systems. Recently, in preparation for the 20 and 30 year NPP formal safety reviews, the operator's overall approach for ageing management and the safety demonstration aspects have been the subject of a specific examination by the Safety Authority and its assessor. This paper gives a general overview of the issues dealt with and the ongoing actions concerning the I and C. (author)
