Abstract
The article describes an approach to evaluate and improve the
effectiveness of the maintenance strategies of technical systems in operating
nuclear power plants. In the Experience Based Reliability Centred
Maintenance (EBRCM) approach, the analyses of the history of occurred faults
and the preventive maintenance programme are combines. In order to direct
the analysis of the maintenance significant items, the components of the
plant are classified based on their significance for reaching the
maintenance objectives such as plant safety, plant availability and work
safety in failure situations. Maintenance analysis is direct to those
significant components, which exhibit a high number of failures. The other
of less maintenance significance, but which exhibit high maintenance costs
are also analysed to improve the cost-effectiveness of maintenance.
