Conceptual study of nuclear power generation facilities life-cycle support versatile engineering database; Procedure of development and consideration of fundamental functions

Endo, Hidetoshi

IAEA stands out the activity of the knowledge management of nuclear safety and the movement to introduce the idea of the life cycle management into the quality control of maintenance of the nuclear power generation facilities to assure the knowledge preservation and to succeed the technology of facilities. JAEA also has such activities as the knowledge preservation of research and development, and related information. The facilities' performance and reliability can be easily checked with the technology of data processing in the general industry and the results of the knowledge repository, transmitting technology and knowledge management by referring to the information and knowledge if the information and knowledge at each step of the life-cycle of facilities can be built. This report shows the strategy of the construction of the engineering database to support the life cycle of facilities and the basic function of the management system.
