Title:
Integrated System for Management of Cable Aging in Support of Long Life Operation of Nuclear Power Plants
Summary:
The resurgence of nuclear energy as an environmentally friendly source of electrical power has encouraged US nuclear power plants to renew their licenses to operate for 60 years or beyond. As such, they are faced with the growing need to effectively manage their aging assets. One of the greatest challenges will be the determination of the condition of aging cables. This proposal is designed to conduct a hands-on R&D effort for the development of a state-of-the-art cable condition monitoring system not currently available in the nuclear power industry.

Title:
Prognostic Methods for Predicting Remaining Useful Life of Nuclear A Plant Equipment and Components
Summary:
This proposal offers to provide a prognostic system that can provide predictions of the remaining useful life or time to failure of critical plant equipment and components. Successful implementation of prognostic technologies in nuclear power plants can potentially reduce reactor trips and refueling outage times.
