Single Point Vulnerabilities Management Strategy of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant

A SPV (Single Point Vulnerability) analysis consists of a list of trains, components or tag IDs, any which could result in a plant shutdown or significant load reduction were the affected equipment be unable to perform its function in supporting generation. Usually, a SPV related components or tag IDs that are identified as a part of an AP-913 based component criticality analysis. But how can we build a solid SPV component management strategy is a key issue for a heathy equipment reliability process. This paper developed a good practices to integrated SPV which related to the generation risk management into the equipment reliability process.
