Improving component availability
Monitoring and diagnostics play an essential role in the safety and performance of nuclear power plants. They prevent the risk of component failure and increase their service life.
Field Report #7: Fleet Safety
Experience shows that very unlikely events occur and that plant operators need efficient systems to safely shutdown their plants and to remain in control in case of an unexpectedly complex sequence of events.
Find out how AREVA is helping utilities demonstrate the safety of their nuclear fleets, while reinforcing public confidence.
AREVA's solutions enable the constant monitoring of operating parameters, the availability and integrity of components and apparatus operating in a reactor. They prevent the risk of failure and assist with informed maintenance operations.
Their functions:
- detecting vibrations,
- repairing leaks and loose parts,
- monitoring unusual wear on equipment,
- recording electrical signatures for motors and actuators,
- monitoring the operation of solenoid valves.
The range of services includes:
- the comprehensive integrated service covering equipment 24/7,
- the installation and startup of equipment,
- regular online monitoring and interpretation of recorded data,
- maintenance, standardization and updating of equipment.
Conditional maintenance in perspective
- Conditional maintenance policy: given a global approach, our solutions enable us to provide a conditional maintenance policy.
- A broad range of skills and advanced measuring techniques: rotating machinery monitoring; rotating machinery damage modelling; electrical signature analysis; acoustic leak monitoring; humidity measurement leak monitoring; vibration analysis; temperature measurement; etc.
