N2 - The overall objective of the PURISTA project is to support the
implementation of risk-informed in-service inspection (RI-ISI) at Finnish
nuclear power plants by studying relevant issues related to RI-ISI. Main
objectives are the development of structural reliability methods for
quantification of piping leak and break probabilities, the development of
methods for evaluating inspection capability and the link between inspection
qualification, detection probability and RI-ISI, and studying issues related
to risk-ranking, selection of inspection sites and acceptance criteria of a
RI-ISI programme. The project includes several international activities, the
most important being the participation in the European Network for
inspection and Qualification (ENIQ), especially in the work of its Task Group
on Risk (TGR).
