原子力発電所の合理的な保全計画を策定するには、各プラントの特性を考慮する必要がある。ナトリウム冷却高速炉では、ナトリウムを扱う特殊性から検査上の制約が保全合理化の重要なポイントとなる。本研究では、リスク情報を活用して保全方針を策定する設計支援ツールである保全最適化スキームを提案した。保全最適化スキームは、システム化規格概念に基づくASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Code Case, N-875が基となっており、最適な保全方針を策定するための詳細な手順を提供するものである。さらに、保全最適化スキームを用いて次期高速炉の候補概念を対象に炉心支持構造物の保全方針設定に関する試評価を実施した。

To develop rationalized maintenance plans for nuclear power plants, the characteristics of each plant must be considered. For sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) plants, constraints on inspections exist due to the specialty that equipment retaining sodium must be handled, which is one of the important points that must be considered in maintenance rationalization. In this study, we propose a maintenance optimization scheme, which is a design support tool, using risk information to develop a maintenance strategy based on the system based code (SBC) concept. The SBC concept intends to provide a theoretical procedure to optimize the reliability of structure, system and components (SSCs) by administrating every related engineering requirements throughout the life of the SSCs from design to decommissioning. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Code Case, N-875 was developed based on the SBC concept. The purpose of this study is to establish detailed procedures for the maintenance optimization scheme based on the procedure in Code Case N-875. Furthermore, a quantitative trial evaluation of the core support structure of the next SFR under development in Japan is also performed using the maintenance optimization scheme.
