Abstract :
Insights and improvements realized through implementing the Maintenance Rule at Millstone nuclear power station (USA) are presented. The Maintenance Rule is being used to support unit restart through demonstrated improvement in regulatory compliance activities and improved system performance. The system performance aspect of this paper focuses on the Maintenance Rule Goal Setting process with an emphasis on performance issues related to human factors. The causes and corrective actions for unacceptable performance on select Millstone station systems are discussed
