Data base for failure/maintenance at the tritium systems test assembly

The reliability and availability of future fusion power plants depends on the reliability and availability of the systems that make up the plants. A study was undertaken at Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL) as part of an effort to begin collecting coherent data on fusion systems for reliability and availability analysis. The major goal of the study was to determine the feasibility of using CREDO, a component-oriented data base, to collect and analyze data on fusion systems. For purposes of this study, CREDO was adapted for use on an IBM-PC using the Tritium Waste Treatment System (TWTS) of the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) at LANL as a test case.
