Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) addresses the management of ageing in nuclear fuel cycle facilities, emphasizing safety and reliability. It provides practical guidance for establishing effective ageing management programs, considering the degradation mechanisms that affect structures, systems, and components. The book targets regulatory bodies, designers, and technical support organizations involved in nuclear facility safety. It covers various stages of a facility's lifecycle, including design, construction, commissioning, and operation, and discusses interfaces with maintenance, safety assessment, and equipment qualification. The publication aims to enhance knowledge sharing among IAEA Member States to mitigate ageing effects and maintain safety standards. Generated by AI.
