Ageing Management System of the Steam Generator of the Nuclear Power Plant

Steam generator (SG) is one of the key important equipments to safety of nuclear power plant (NPP), its reliability is the one vital weakness of nuclear steam supply system (NSSS), so it is necessary for ageing management (AM) to increase its reliability for safety operation. However the SG AM data has not always been readily available, thus the Ageing Management Database of the Steam Generator of nuclear power plant (AMDSG) was developed to integrate decentralized information and provide a valuable data center that the data needed could be easily and quickly retrieved, and can serve as the basis platform for optimizing SG ageing evaluation and management. AMDSG is an online interactive integrated knowledge management system. Some modern information technologies are applied, especially real-time data acquisition and virtual reality technology. It not only contains all equipment condition information and important operation data that are needed based on data warehouse technology, but also provides fundamental online monitoring, analysis, assessment functions and basis data management functions.
