New inspection system is supposed to be introduced in nuclear power plants in Japan. In the corrective action program (CAP) based on quality management system, sharing of nonconformity information, management of corrective and preventative action are required. For management of the corrective action, relevant data have to be correctly and efficiently recorded and managed. In order to address the new system, we developed a maintenance support tool using augmented reality (AR) technology. This tool helps user...

Development of a Maintenance Supporting Tool Using Augmented Reality Technology

Condition-based maintenance(CBM) is maintenance performed on the basis of the condition of the equipment. The transition to CBM being considered, it is necessary to make appropriate decision, such as judgment of normality or abnormality. The threshold approach has generally been used for the judgment, but it provides ambiguous decisions due to individual variability of the equipment. Diagnosis using Data Analysis is a promising method to detect variations of the condition of rotating machinery. In this meth...

Although a large amount of data (especially in abnormal conditions) is necessary to predict deterioration of nuclear power plant equipment, it is quite difficult to obtain it. For this reason, simulation is expected to be an effective approach to estimate conditions of equipment instead of data acquisition. In this study, we focused on and built a model for a motor operated valve, since the inspection cost is generally expensive due to the number of the valves used in a nuclear power plant. We analyzed the ...
