Systems Sustainability: Implementation of Enhanced Maintenance Programs at the211 Kurchatov Institute, the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental physics 211 and the All-Russian Scientific Institute for Technical Physics

摘要

Implementation of quality maintenance programs is essential to enhancing211u001esustainable continuous operations of United States funded Materials Protection, 211u001eControl and Accountability (MPC&A)equipment/systems upgrades at various Russian 211u001enuclear facilities. An effective maintenance programis expected to provide 211u001eassurances to both parties for achieving maximum continuous systems operations 211u001ewith minimum down time. To be effective, the program developed must focus on 211u001eminimum downtime for any part of a system. Minimum down time is realized through 211u001ethe implementation of a quality maintenance program that includes preventative 211u001emaintenance, necessary diagnostic tools, properly trained technical staff, and an 211u001ein-house inventory of required spare parts for repairing the impacted component 211u001eof the system. A centralized maintenance management program is logistically 211u001eessential for the success of this effort because of the large volume ofMPC&A 211u001eequipment/systems installed at those sites. This paper will discuss current 211u001eprograms and conditions at the Russian Research Center-Kurchatov Institute, the 211u001eAll-Russian Scientific Institute for Technical Physics and the All-Russian 211u001eResearch Institute of Experimental Physics and will address those steps necessary 211u001eto implement an upgraded program at those sites.
