The program modules the KRCM were designed in a manner that combines EPRI methodologies and KEPRI analysis technique. The KRCM is being applied to the three Pilot systems, chemical and volume control system, main steam system, and compressed air system of Yonggwang units 1&2. In addition, the KRCM can be utilized as a tool to meet a part of the requirements maintenance rule (MR) imposed by U.S. NRC.
