An innovative in-core neutron flux mapping system has been developed and applied successfully for service in a commercial pressurized water reactor. With the benefit of double indexing path selector (Dip $s^{ⓡ}$) mechanism, the reliability of the detector drive system has been improved five times higher than that of conventional systems, and the problems caused by the serious friction generated between the detector cable and guide tubing has been solved completely because the Dip $s^{ⓡ}$ architecture allows the detector guide tubings to have larger curvature and shorter length in nature. The simple and fast maintenance is particularly emphasized in the detector drive system to secure minimum radiation exposure to the maintenance personnel by optimizing the number of components and providing easy access to the components. The programmable logic controller based digital controller with Window $s^{ⓡ}$ based operator s console provides fully automated and user friendly operation and maintenance support means.

This paper considers the optimum replacement times of a steam generator in nuclear power plant with failure data. It is assumed that the failure pattern of units is given as a Weibull distribution and repair and periodic preventive maintenance are performed periodically. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimated the Weibull parameters of failure distribution from failure data. Relpacement, output-decresing and maintenance costs are considered to determine the optimal replacement times by simulation. Numerical examples are included with actual failure data and cost estimators.

An Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) manufactured by a French company Wartsila SACM, is a tandem type engine, consisted of two 10 cylindered diesel engines on each side. Manual provided by the manufacturer states that engine bearing requires inspection every 15 years. However, it is difficult for an inspector to access through a manhole located in the lower compartment of engine. Furthermore, during a routine or scheduled maintenance, it is not possible to disassemble main engine bearing and crank shaft, and perform inspection. Two methodologies are suggested here to resolve the problem. One method is to lift the engine and partially perform the maintenance service, and the other method is to disassemble the engine completely and to perform maintenance service by the manufacturer. Pros and cons of two methodologies were thoroughly compared.

The demand for safety and reliability of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) has been constantly increasing and economical operation is also an important issue. Developing and adopting predictive maintenance technology for the major systems or equipment is considered as one way to achieve these goals. This paper suggests the predictive maintenance methodology that can be applied to NPPs and describes a sample application of the Rod Control System (RCS) to verify the effectiveness of the methodology. It is expected that the same methodology can be adopted for other systems of NPPs and general industry fields when its effectiveness is verified.

The robot mainpulator for inspection of pressurizer in the nuclear power plant has been developed, which consists of four parts : 2 arms, movable gripper, base frame, contorl console. To extract the damaged electric heating rod inside pressurizer, the gripper has been developed using wire lope and self-locking mechanism. for the examination of the structural stability of the robot manipulator, stress analysis is performed by using the ANSYS code.

This paper is about to develop a system to monitor speed droop rate characteristic of turbine governor for electric power plant. High quality electricity can be obtained, and so electricity supplier get more profit through it. Developed system presents basis of judgement of unusual system and proper maintenance time for the governor and power plant.

Many I/o cards such as AOCs, DICs, DOCs and ROCs are used to deal with I&C instruments of control panel in full-scope power plant simulator. To help the maintenance of I/O cards, an I/o card fault diagnosis system is implemented in this paper. The implemented fault diagnosis system has the automatic fault diagnosis function and manual card test function for fault diagnosis. Finally, the test result using I/O cards shows the validity of the implemented fault diagnosis system.

Effects of staining, buffer washing and denaturing agents on the transferrability of RNA fractionated on a methylmercury hydroxide-agarose gel to a nitrocellulose membrane were studied. Ethidium bromide staining and ammonium acetate buffer washing inhibited RNA transfer, while 3% HCHO and 0.5 M NaOH treatments stimulated transfer which was negated in the ammonium acetate buffer. Accordingly, maintenance of primary structure of RNA was proved to be essential for transferring RNA from the methylmercury hydroxideagarose gel to the nitrocellulose membrane.

As a maintenance optimization project to improve the safety of Wolsong NPP (Nuclear Power Plant), reliability of diesel generators are estimated based on the operating experience, and improvement options are suggested. A reliability measure is suggested for the estimation of reliability for standby safety systems to reflect availability. It is assessed that the reliability of diesel generators can be much improved if the suggested improvement options are implemented.
