Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency provides comprehensive guidance on managing the ageing of nuclear power plants. It outlines plant level and specific ageing management programmes to manage existing and potential ageing effects on structures, systems, and components throughout their operational lifespan. The report aims to assist operating organizations and regulatory bodies by providing technical bases, practical guidance, and a recognized framework for effective ageing management programmes. It addresses both physical and non-physical ageing, ensuring that safety functions are maintained over the plant's life. This edition, updated from its 2020 predecessor, complements various IAEA Safety Standards, offering a knowledge base for the design and long-term operation of nuclear power plants. Generated by AI.
