Benchmarking Study of Maintenance Performance Monitoring Practices

This Report summarizes the results of a research carried out in the year 2007 under the SONIS (Safety of Nuclear Installations) programme for 2007, Task 1.1.1, Maintenance effectiveness indicators and risk monitors. The research was based on the survey of the experience of European nuclear utilities in the use of maintenance performance indicators at selected European nuclear utilities. The survey results proved the validity of the specific maintenance performance indicators selected for the maintenance performance monitoring framework proposed by IE/JRC and published in the EU Report 22602. The obtained results provide good basis for further development and implementation of the proposed maintenance monitoring system. The analysis of the survey results revealed additional maintenance aspects critical to the effectiveness of maintenance programme. All these topics will be carefully analysed in the next steps of the research in connection to their coverage in the maintenance monitoring system and identification of critical items that could be subject for the further activities in the SONIS Research program.JRC.F.5-Nuclear operation safet

International Forum on Reactor Ageing Management (IFRAM) - Proceedings of the European Engagement Workshop

In 2009 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) together with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) initiated the "International Forum on Reactor Ageing Management (IFRAM)". The aim of the forum is to consolidate the present knowledge on ageing management (AM) and long term operation (LTO) of commercial NPPs, identify open gaps and prioritize and even conduct the necessary R&D work to fill these gaps. IFRAM is seeking to share knowledge and data and to avoid duplication of work since human and financial resources for AM/LTO are limited. IFRAM should be an international forum with members from Asia, America and Europe and all common commercial nuclear reactor types around the world should be represented. An Asian Engagement workshop was held successfully in Seoul from 11th - 13th October 2009 to bring together Asian nuclear organisations & research institutes and US NRC & PNNL to further discuss the idea of IFRAM. The Asian Engagement workshop was followed by the European Engagement workshop held in Petten, the Netherlands from 25th - 27th May 2010 and hosted by JRC-IE. Similar to the Asian Engagement workshop the aim of the European Engagement workshop was to bring together European nuclear organisations & research institutes and US NRC & PNNL to further discuss the idea of IFRAM and open scientific / technical issues on AM/LTO. The European Engagement workshop was held successfully and this EUR report summarizes the presentations given by the workshop participants and the outcome of the two discussion sessions, i.e. establishment & benefits of IFRAM and scientific / technical issues on AM/LTO 60 years+ of NPPs.JRC.DDG.F.5-Safety of present nuclear reactor

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on NDE in Relation to Structural Integrity for Nuclear and Pressurized Components

This conference, the tenth in a series on NDE in relation to structural integrity for nuclear and pressurized components, was held from 1st October to 3 October 2013, in Cannes, France. The scientific programme was co-produced by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport (EC-JRC/IET). The Conference has been coordinated by the Confédération Française pour les Essais Non Destructifs (COFREND). The first conference, under the sole responsibility of EC-JRC was held in Amsterdam, 20-22 October 1998. The second conference was locally organized by the EPRI NDE Center in New Orleans, 24-26 May 2000, the third one by Tecnatom in Seville, 14-16 November 2001, the fourth one by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing in London, 6-8 December 2004, the fifth by EPRI in San Diego, 10-12 May 2006, the sixth by Marovisz in Budapest, 8-10 October 2007, the seventh by the University of Tokyo and JAPEIC in Yokohama, the eight by DGZfP, 29 September to 1st October 2010, the ninth by Epri NDE Center, 22-24 May 2012 in Seattle. The theme of this conference series is to provide the link between the information originated by NDE and the use made of this information in assessing structural integrity. In this context, there is often a need to determine NDE performance against structural integrity requirements through a process of qualification or performance demonstration. There is also a need to develop NDE to address shortcomings revealed by such performance demonstration or otherwise. Finally, the links between NDE and structural integrity require strengthening in many areas so that NDE is focussed on the components at greatest risk and provides the precise information required for assessment of integrity. These were the issues addressed by the papers selected for the conference.JRC.F.5-Nuclear Reactor Safety Assessmen

Pelaksanaan Koordinasi Dalam Program Pelaksanaan Tugas Dan Fungsi Lingkup Sekretariat Daerah Pemerintah Kota Sorong

Adapun tujuan yang ingin dicapai dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui  Pelaksanaan Koordinasi Dalam Program Pelaksanaan Tugas Dan Fungsi Lingkup Sekretariat Daerah Pemerintah Kota Sorong. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Sorong. Penelitian tentang Pelaksanaan Koordinasi Dalam Program Pelaksanaan Tugas Dan Fungsi Lingkup Sekretariat Daerah Pemerintah Kota Sorong. Untuk menguji pelaksanaan koordinasi menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. tekhnik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Penelitian dilakukan secara Analisis Kualitatif dan Disktiptif  Kualitatif dengan berdasarkan kategori hasil penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa; 1) Semua sumber daya manajemen itu penting, tetapi dalam praktek, manusia sebagai sumber daya yang paling penting baik dalam arti jumlahnya maupun dalam arti mutu atau kualitasnya. Hambatan-hambatan atau kesalahan-kesalahan yang dialami terutama disebabkan oleh sumber daya manusia yang tidak memenuhi syarat yang dibutuhkan. 2) Efisiensi dan efektifitas pelaksanaan penguatan otonomi daerah yang diselenggarakan pemerintah, sangat ditentukan adanya efektifitas pelaksanaan dari hubungan kerja, karena tanpa adanya hubungan kerja yang jelas, pelaksanaan tugas-tugas pokoknya dapt menjadi tidak efisien, karena adanya ketidak paduan kegiatan yang berlangsung. 3) Koordinasi fungsional, antara dua atau lebih instansi yang mempunyai program yang berkaitan. 4) Koordinasi instansional, terhadap beberapa instansi yang menangani satu urusan tertentu yang bersangkutan. 5) Koordinasi fungsional, terhadap dua atau lebih wilayah dengan program tertentu

Industrial applications of heavy ions beams at GANIL

International audienceAfter a year of research and development, BSI and GANIL started an industrial production of microporous membranes. The status of the technical and commercial problems is given. With the collaboration of industrial firms, other applications are studied, like : non reflecting surfaces, ion implantation, surface treatment, radiation damage..
