5 Mission US EDF 5 EDF NPPs Life Cycle Management Life cycle management of Nuclear plants is based on: Global initial strategy regarding critical I&C systems: Spare part of components Long term agreement with the suppliers : competencies and tools Daily routine operation and maintenance activities incorporating an important feedback experience (with related activities of systems support) Exceptional maintenance program: applied to generic hazards or degradations concerning the whole Fleet of NPPs or part of it, decided and planned at national level on several years, implemented once (or twice) in the life of the plant. Periodic safety reviews (PSR) (every 10 years) including ageing evaluation to check agreement to safety requirements. Long outage every 10 years (TYO) Best time is large modernisation or replacement Research activities (R&D and international projects) EDF specific programs led by Engineering Division and Operation Division 5
6 The I&C Projects at EDF The 900 MW Series I&C Projects IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
7 900 MW Series I&C Technologies Electromagnetic relays for logic control (about per unit) Discrete modules for the analog acquisition and control loops (Bailey 8720 & 9020) Hardwired panels in the control room IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
8 900 MW Series I&C Projects for the 3 rd TYO (1) The I&C ageing observation phase ( ) results : Most of the I&C components can last up to the next TYO (40 years) at least : For example : The relay-based systems and the panels of the Control Room don t need to be changed, for ageing or obsolescence reasons Good long-term agreement with suppliers for critical systems. No large I&C modernization projects but some partial renovation such as : Modernization of the Turbine Control system (on CP0, only). Same architecture : Card-by-card replacement. Redesign of the cards with new analog components. Renovation of Diesel Alarm System : replacement of the relay-based system by a PLC Partial modernization of the Rod Control system (IPS-NC) : No modification of the instrumentation (1E) and of the power modules (gripper coil current generator). The new system is based on PLCs (computation), networks and FPGA-Based modules (slave cycler. Time constraint : 1 ms). Renovation of the In-Core Instrumentation system. New system based on PLCs (same as for Rod Control system) and a supervisor shared with the RCS Some modules of the Process Instrumentation System (Bailey 8720 on CP0 : discrete analog technology) were replaced (redesign with new components but same technology) The 3rd ten-yearly outage in progress, from 2008 (Head unit) up to 2018, with 3 or 4 outages per year. IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May

IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
26 Recommendations To IAEA IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
27 Recommendation to the IAEA : Topics to focus on (1) EDF considers that most of the topics provided at the previous TWG-NPPIC meeting (2011) are still current topics on which IAEA should focus. Maintaining the existing Nuclear Power Plants (old and recent) with a High Safety level: Rising up the Safety Level of old plants, in order to achieve the best accessible Safety level (but not necessary the current Safety level applicable to the new NPPs). Arrive at an international consensus which leaves few margins of interpretation to each country Methodology and framework for re-examination of the level of safety of the units before renovation or periodically Perform audits on current situation and propose risks reduction (process, I&C, Human ) Post-Fukushima actions: exchange on the best practices. Survey the ageing of I&C equipment and control the Obsolescence (analog as well as digital equipment, cabling, connectors ): Understanding of ageing mechanisms. Maintenance strategies: e.g. periodic replacement or on failure? Evaluation of costs, risks, benefits of different I&C maintenance options: modernization, repair. How to deal with the short life time of the new digital system (software evolution )? Implement each new software release? Integrate the ageing workforce, the inadequate existing documentation and the new generation in a long-term management of I&C expertise : Identification and documentation of key knowledge, including I&C design basis. How to retrieve, rebuild, structure and pass the documented knowledge to the new generation? How to attract and keep the new generation? How to train the current I&C engineers to the new technologies? IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
28 Recommendation to the IAEA : Topics to focus on (2) Safe Aspects : International consensus on Safety requirements for new NPPs Define more precisely the Safety Level to reach: between the high level requirements and the National Regulator requirement/iec Standards. Define a minimal number of unavoidable requirements (from various standards, norms, rules ) that all the units must satisfy for their I&C architecture and components. Efficiency Aspect Specification & Design of I&C architecture taking lifetime into account. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) : requirements traceability, Modification Methods & tools for Plant performance improvement: New technologies for reduction of uncertainties in measurements to increase power output while maintaining safety margins Reduction of likelihood of human errors Reduction of operation & maintenance costs (information systems, on-line monitoring, diagnostic ) New Technologies - Impact Evaluation of COTS I&C equipment and I&C architecture I&C platforms, architecture, smart devices (we are at the limits of the acceptable complexity) Representation of digital systems in probabilistic models Realistic consideration for assessment of software (system + application) : Verification and Validation (tests) as complementary tools. Test coverage. Software common cause failures Classified HIS : same interface for the operator (HF aspect) IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
29 Recommendation to the IAEA : Topics to focus on (3) New Technologies - Impact (cont.) Regulatory uncertainties regarding new technologies : ASICs / FPGAs, Smart Devices, Data communication networks (including fieldbus), Wireless technologies, Cyber-security SMR (Small Modular Reactor) Impact on Safety and Security rules of a centralized CR for multiple small reactors Level of automation (because of reduced team for operation) IAEA - TWGNPPIC Meeting May
