The initial development of a South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company process for supporting preventative
maintenance optimization by applying the Balance-Of-Plant model and Risk-Informed Asset Management alpha-level
software applications is presented. Preventative maintenance activities are evaluated in the South Texas Project Risk-
Informed Asset Management software while the plant maintains or improves upon high levels of nuclear safety. In the
Balance-Of-Plant availability application, the level of detail in the feedwater system is enhanced to support plant de-
cision-making at the component failure mode and human error mode level of indenture by elaborating on the current
model at the super-component level of indenture. The enhanced model and modeling techniques are presented. Results
of case studies in feedwater system preventative maintenance optimization using plant-specific data are also presented.

I. Introduction and Background


Primary South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company
(STPNOC) management focus areas are safety and plant val-
ue supported in part by a comprehensive risk management
program (CRMP). The CRMP is used to help manage plant
risk in nuclear safety and plant valuation. Elements of the
CRMP are the probabilistic risk model,1) balance of plant
performance predictor program (BOPPP) model2) and
Risk-Informed Asset Management (RIAM)3,4) model. These
elements are used in plant operating maintenance risk man-
agement (called ‘‘on-line maintenance’’)5) and in strategic
programs that would reduce cost of major maintenance
and spares. Conceptually, using the CRMP input would help
management move the plant operating point on the ‘‘safety/
profitability’’ plane in the direction shown in Fig. 1 (that is, Fig. 1 Safety and profitability plane

An important component of RIAM is the plant preventa-
