A maintenance management required to prototype nuclear power reactors is proposed. Monitoring and control of sodium impurity and thermal transient are extremely important for sodium boundary maintenance for sodium-cooled fast reactors. At the fast stage of the prototype reactor Monju operation, degradation mechanism on the piping should be demonstrated based on operation experiences. Therefore inspection on a representative position for crack indication and pipe thickness is proposed. Due to less experience of SFR plants, early detection of boundary failure is considered. For a matured operation stage, when degradation mechanism is well demonstrated based on inspection data, inspection cycle could be extended. And for commercial reactors, maintenance without inspection will be established based on accumulated operation experiences including those of the prototype reactor Monju.

A maintenance management suitable to nuclear power plants (NPP) at R&D stage was discussed. Objectives of maintenance management of NPP at R&D stage was first clarified. Next, applicability of codes for maintenance management of commercial NPP to NPP at R&D stage was discussed. Then, requirements and consideration for maintenance management of NPP at R&D stage was proposed. In this paper, an example that the proposal was applied to setting maintenance program of sodium-cooled fast reactor was presented.
