Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides comprehensive guidelines for ageing management, modernization, and refurbishment programs for research reactors. It addresses the challenges posed by the ageing of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in reactors, many of which have been operational for decades. The book outlines methodologies for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating ageing-related degradation, ensuring the safety, performance, and extended operational life of research reactors. It also provides guidance on establishing systematic ageing management programs and managing modernization and refurbishment projects. With practical examples and case studies from international research reactors, the publication aims to support operating organizations in optimizing reactor performance while maintaining safety and cost-effectiveness. The intended audience includes nuclear facility operators, engineers, policymakers, and researchers in the nuclear science and technology fields. Generated by AI.
