RISK-INFORMED
IN-SERVICE INSPECTION
 etermines the component condition to assure equipment
d
integrity and avoid potential failures
one of the key elements of nuclear power plant safety
its objectives:
identify degradation mechanisms being potentially active
select inspection locations where the impact
of each degradation mechanism is most severe
implement corresponding inspection methods
based on the combination of independent assessments of the
probability of failure of components and the consequences of
those failures

resulting
in the reduction of operation costs and maintenance
or improvement of safety
