Abstract

The unavailability equations of several aging scenarios of standby safety component are derived and the risk of standby safety system is quantified. The different maintenance strategies are adopted for no aging scenario and several aging scenarios respectively. The two kind of test and maintenance (T&M) policies are adopted for no aging scenario and several aging scenarios. A numerical example is introduced for the illustration. The system unavailabilities under different configurations of parallel safety system and T&M policies are computed and compared. It can be derived that the combination of different T&M policies and configurations is significant effect on the risk of standby safety system and optimal STI and T&M interval.
