Compilation and optimization of nuclear power plant preventive maintenance program

Preventive maintenance program was one of the basic requirements to the nuclear power operation units set by national nuclear safety authorities. This paper describes the specific processes with respect to the compilation of preventive maintenance for equipment at nuclear power plants (NPPs), with a combination of domestic and foreign maintenance optimization methods, and RCM analysis results, AP913 method, experience feedback and other methods to optimize preventive maintenance program, which has created considerable economic benefits and achieved good results in operating and new NPPs. This paper presents the strategies and methods of compilation and optimization of preventive maintenance program, providing an important reference for compilation and optimization of maintenance program for NPPs at home and abroad.
