Description

The in-service inspection programmes have up to now been based on deterministic analyses. Recently, in some countries the implementation of sound basis for risk-informed in-service inspections (ISI) has been in progress. STUK has also conducted a pilot study on risk-informed ISI. The aim of the study was to explore how the plant specific PSA's could best be used for assessment of the ISI programmes. This paper discusses the findings obtained during the pilot study on risk-informed 151 of piping. The study produced essential insights of the applied method. Furthermore, the study gave guidance to determine items for further development. Based on these results and overall experience the general suitability of the method is evaluated. (author)
