Description

Following several recent accidents and incidents in French plants linked with plant ageing, the Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Town and Country Planning has decided to create a working group on this topic in 2009. The purpose of this working group is to define with operators and experts the actions to carry on in order to improve the management of equipment. It could lead to new regulations but also to evolutions in the maintenance strategy of the operators and to good practices guides that could be shared among companies. About 130 persons are participating in this process, among them Asn, which has an experience of this topic through the plant life management of the nuclear power plants. (author)
