Description

An exhaustive Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis was performed of the emergency diesel generator sets in Electricite de France 900-MW nuclear power plants. The first part of this paper describes the Reliability Centered Maintenance approach, including the functional breakdown, complete analysis of operation feedback and safety assessment of the risk induced by functional diesel failures. The second part shows how this kind of RCM analysis can be used to improve the efficiency of periodic tests of the machine, and more generally, the efficiency of condition-directed maintenance tasks. The underlying objective is to minimize risk and aging of the machine
