17Consultancy Meetings 2005On-line Monitoring
- TECDOC titled On-line Monitoring for Nuclear
Power Plants. Part 1 - Instrument Channel
Performance Monitoring to be published in June
2005 - Main Benefits of On-line Calibration Monitoring
- Reduce radiation exposure through elimination of
unnecessary calibrations - Reduce the possibility of instrument damage
during calibration - Reduce the time required and the associated costs
of important sensor calibration activities during
plant outages - Assessments of the calibration status of
important sensors are continuously available
18Consultancy Meetings 2005On-line Monitoring
- Indirect Benefits of On-line Monitoring
- Identification of abnormal plant conditions
through monitoring sensor interrelationships - Condition assessment of plant components and
early warning of sensor or component degradation
or failure - Compression of the information from a multitude
of sensors which may need to be reviewed to only
those that are currently being identified by the
on-line monitoring system as needing attention - Faster actions in response to abnormal conditions
identified due to the above compression of
information - Continuous, real-time performance monitoring of
plant sensors, components, and systems - Validated signals for other computerized tools
19Consultancy Meetings 2005International Database
on IC Modernization Projects
- Engineering and project management issues are
included - Database and the related questionnaire will be
Web-based - The Agency is providing an organizational basis

28IC Activities recommended by TWG in 2003,but
remained un-funded in 2006-2007
- Cyber Security in IC Applications isolation of
reactor protection systems security aspect of
maintenance and modification of IC systems - Increasing Power Output by improving flow
measurement accuracy, flux distribution
estimation, and utilizing design margins, system
robustness - Avoiding programming errors introduced during
modifications and maintenance of digital IC
systems
29IC tasks directly related to cost effectiveness
- On-line Monitoring of Sensor Performance and
Equipment Condition - Performing maintenance/calibration only if
conditions warranted it (as opposed to fixed
schedule-based maintenance) - Reducing the need for maintenance/calibration can
reduce outage time and radiation exposure of
maintenance personnel - Improving IC Performance in NPP Power Up-rating
Projects - Better instrument accuracy can reduce
conservative estimates of safety margins, leading
to potential power up-rate - Improving the Implementation and Testing of New
Digital IC Systems in NPPs - IC systems properly implemented and tested with
high reliability can reduce downtime caused by
possible failures and defects in digital systems
