Plant life management (PLiM) is a methodology focussed on the
safety-first management of nuclear power plants over their entire
lifetime. It incorporates and builds upon the usual periodic safety
reviews and licence renewals as part of an overall framework
designed to assist plant operators and regulators in assessing the
operating conditions of a nuclear power plant, and establishing the
technical and economic requirements for safe, long-term operation.
Understanding and mitigating ageing in nuclear power plants
critically reviews the fundamental ageing-degradation mechanisms of
materials used in nuclear power plant structures, systems and
components (SSC), along with their relevant analysis and mitigation
paths, as well as reactor-type specific PLiM practices.
Obsolescence and other less obvious ageing-related aspects in
nuclear power plant operation are also examined in depth. Part one
introduces the reader to the role of nuclear power in the global
energy mix, and the importance and relevance of plant life
management for the safety regulation and economics of nuclear power
plants. Key ageing degradation mechanisms and their effects in
nuclear power plant systems, structures and components are reviewed
in part two, along with routes taken to characterise and analyse
the ageing of materials and to mitigate or eliminate ageing
degradation effects. Part three reviews analysis, monitoring and
modelling techniques applicable to the study of nuclear power plant
materials, as well as the application of advanced systems,
structures and components in nuclear power plants. Finally, Part IV
reviews the particular ageing degradation issues, plant designs,
and application of plant life management (PLiM) practices in a
range of commercial nuclear reactor types. With its distinguished
international team of contributors, Understanding and mitigating
ageing in nuclear power plants is a standard reference for all
nuclear plant designers, operators, and nuclear safety and
materials professionals and researchers.
