Abstract

This paper is supposed to clarify the existing German utility integrity concept and is its sound application regarding ageing management issues covering the following key topics: requirements established in the German regulations and codes/standards, NPP safety relevance; NPP availability concerns, safety relevant systems to be considered, component ranking concerning safety significance, explanation of ageing management concept elements, examples for the application of ageing management concepts.

Abstract

Dieser Beitrag soll das bestehende umfassende Integritätskonzept der deutschen EVU darstellen und seine Anwendung auf dem Gebiet des Alterungsmanagements unter Beriicksichtigung folgender Aspekte verdeutlichen: Anforderungen, die in Deutschland im bestehenden Regelwerk sowie Normen und Codes enthalten sind, zu betrachtende Sicherheitssysteme, Kategorisierung von Komponenten unter Beachtung ihrer sicherheitstechnischen Relevanz, Darstellung der einzelnen Elemente des Alterungsmanagementskonzepts sowie die entsprechenden Anwendungsbeispiele.
