Criticality Determination
•Identify those components most critical to plant
safety and reliability
•Used to allocate resources
•Used to prioritize work
Critical component failures cause
•significant power transient or derate
•loss of a redundant safety function
•unplanned entry into a technical specification LCO
•half scram or partial trip
•reactor shutdown
•actuation of emergency safeguards features
Critical component failure cause
•failure to control a critical safety function such as reactor water level and
pressure, primary and secondary containment, drywell temperature and
pressure, or spent fuel pool temperature and level
•degraded capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a shutdown
condition
•inability to perform an emergency operating procedure, or to prevent or
mitigate the consequences of accidents that could result in potential off-site
exposure in excess of 10CFR100 limits; operator workaround
•operator workaround for performing any of the above functions or procedures.
Criticality Analysis Results
61287 components reviewed
Crit 1 = 13331, or 22% (SR)
Crit 2 = 26462, or 43% (Important)
Crit N = 21494, or 35% (Run to failure)
Effort
22 Weeks
4400 Consultant Man-Hours
2100 Internal Man-Hours
Single Point Vulnerability Study
CRITERIA:
•A SPV exists if failure of a single component results in:
–Reactor Trip, or
–Turbine Trip, or
–Generator electrical power output reduction > 5%.
(Note: Initial condition 100% power)
Most Significant Components Affecting Unit
Reliability - As Derived from SPV Studies
•Air-operated valves
•Emergency diesel generator - electrical
•Main feedwater pump
•Main generator and support systems
(Not listed in order of importance)
Non-critical component
•Component failure creates an unacceptable increase in personnel, industrial,
environmental, or radiological safety hazard.
•The component has a history of unacceptably high repair, replacement, or
operational cost.
•Component failure represents an operator or maintenance burden.
•The component is obsolete, in short supply, or very expensive to repair or
replace.
•There is a long lead time for replacement parts, which prevents a required
component from being repaired in a timely fashion.
•The component is necessary for work on critical equipment (for example,
isolation valve).
Non-critical component
•Component failure promotes failure of other components.
•There is a potential for new risks from hazardous chemicals or
environmental concerns.
•Failure results in a power transient, sustained generation loss, or
reduction in the necessary redundancy or defense in-depth.
•Failure may lead to regulatory consequences.
•Component failure will hamper or prevent timely repair of a critical
component.
•It is more cost-effective to maintain the component, as opposed to
repair or replacement.
Run to failure components
•A run-to-failure component is one for which the risks and
consequences of failure are acceptable without any predictive or
repetitive maintenance being performed and there is not a simple,
cost-effective method to extend the useful life of the component.
•The component should be run until corrective maintenance is
required.

Maintenance Optimization
•Apply resources to those components most
important to plant safety and reliability
•Remove resources from those components
that have minimal impact on safety and
reliability and whose loss can be tolerated or
can be replaced easily
Maintenance Optimization
•Corrective maintenance
•Preventive maintenance (3 types)
–Periodic – servicing, parts, time based
–Predictive – monitoring, non-intrusive, analysis
–Planned – scheduled replacement or
refurbishment to prevent failure

- Stagger implementation of large changes
- start long lead items early
- Ensure proper sequencing of changes,
such as in superseded PM activities
- Ensure new schedule dates are aligned
with FEGs or system / train schedule
- Adhere to outage freeze milestones
- Perform risk assessments

Living process – Performance
Feedback
•Periodic PM and work order condition
reviews provide routine feedback to the PM
process to adjust PM frequencies and scope.
•Analysis of corrective maintenance work
considers whether PM was adequate or
should be modified, or new PMs should be
added.
Living process – Review
•Equipment reliability process is a living process.
Although a considerable effort is committed to
perform the “optimization”, ongoing work is needed
using the same tools and methods.
–The PM review team typically meets routinely to
review PM program changes or additions.
•Work scope team meets weekly to review
upcoming planned PMs (week T-16 to T-26)
Long-Term Plan
•Generation / revenue plan
•Design planning and implementation
•Outage cycle plans
•Unit refurbishment or major component
replacement (reactor vessel head, steam
generator, major cabling)
•Equipment refurbishment (turbine overhauls,
motors, large transformers)
