The hydraulic cylinder which is connected by the deformable pipe is the key part of this technology, so the performance of the deformable pipe directly affects the function of the hydraulic cylinder and the HCRDT. Based on the conditions occurring in the operation of the Control Rod Hydraulic Drive System, a kind of new deformable pipe is designed and has been tested by the experiment and analyzed by ANSYS. The result shows that the longer deformable pipe is the longer its lifetime is firstly. Second, lifetime of the deformable pipe which has net is longer. Furthermore, the design of HCRDT can be optimized.","PeriodicalId":237355,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Plant Systems, Structures, Components, and Materials; Risk Assessments and Management","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123599697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It not only provides operating personnel with the real-time risk information, but also reduces human error in test and maintenance work, in order to ensure that the high-risk configurations are identified and controlled.\u0000 Traditionally, the high-risk identification of planning activities is mainly based on technical specification (TS) and operating experience, etc. It is lack of quantitative risk assessment to support decision-making, especially when multiple systems or components are out of service or being restored.\u0000 Planning risk assessment in existing risk monitors is time-consuming and error-prone, because they typically depend on manually screening and confirming risk-related planned events. Besides, online time-dependent characteristics of NPP systems are ignored. The reliability parameters are taken as constant values providing that components and systems always work under the predefined conditions. Thus, the risk level during planning period is not affected by the current configuration, or the operation history of equipment.\u0000 With the widespread application of digital instrument control systems (I&C) in nuclear power plants, the technology of Real-time Online Risk Monitoring (RORM) was put forward. It improves the acquisition technique of current equipment status, modeling and updating technique of Living-PSA Model and provides more accurate, realistic prediction of risk level for planning configurations.\u0000 This paper briefly introduces the design of the system structure, database, interfaces and functions of Real-time Online risk monitoring (RORM). It is characterized by the following features: online acquisition of the initial configuration before planning period, time-dependent risk monitoring modeling and updating in time. And it focuses how the real-time online risk monitoring technology of nuclear power plants help the nuclear power plant minimize the risk level of maintenance plan and optimize the maintenance schedule. Also, the calculation method of risk monitoring measures is improved based on the concept of “online, time-dependent”. Finally, the risk management method for optimization of planning activities is proposed.","PeriodicalId":237355,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Plant Systems, Structures, Components, and Materials; Risk Assessments and Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116641454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
