Dr. Mainte, an integrated simulator for maintenance optimization of LWRs (Light Water Reactors) has been developed based on PFM (Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics) analyses. The concept of the simulator is to provide a decision-making system to optimize maintenance activities for representative components and piping systems in nuclear power plants totally and quantitatively in terms of safety, availability and economic efficiency, environmental impact and social acceptance. For the further improvement ...

Effects of Human Error and its Reduction Analyzed by Dr. Mainte, Integrated Simulator of Maintenance Optimization of LWRs

We have developed Check Valve Inspection System using acoustic emission sensor and ultrasonic sensor, to examine degradation and detailed motion (Full open, Tapping, Oscillation, etc.) of the swing check valve. This inspection system was applied check valves in the seawater system line of domestic nuclear power plants. The examination was carried out before and after replacing the check valve. Comparing the results of the inspection system and the results of overhaul, effectiveness of this system has b...
