State of the Industry in Plant Reliability

The Plant Reliability State of the Union session will be an overview highlighting current events, plant reliability improvement initiatives, trends, and factors impacting utilities and vendors. INPO, in development of IER 21-04, identified more than 600 events that contributed to “Noteworthy - Consequential” events related to equipment related failures that, between 2018 and 2020, led to a loss of generation equivalent to shutting down the entire nuclear industry for 16 days. This session will provide an overview of the various factors and trends that result in equipment related consequential events. Many of these events will be explored in greater detail in other sessions in this Track. In addition, this session will discuss the current actions taken in the industry to address shortfalls in plant reliability and implement IER 21-04, Improving Plant Reliability. Input from discussions during this session will be factored into subsequent sessions in the Plant Reliability track for this Conference.
