Identification of relevant Mechanical and Civil items for EQ. • A methodology was developed and discussed for identification of mechanical components and civil /structures which might be relevant for qualification. • This methodology was applied and missing lines in AMR table were identified. • After discussion it was decided to refer to TLAA 201 in the AMR lines and incorporate M&C items in the scope of TLAA 201 “Equipment Qualification in Nuclear Installations” 2nd International Meeting, 23 – 26 May 2022, Řež, Czech Republic 24

AMP221 update Considering AMP221 is based on Equipment Qualification Standard and that was reached by consensus the objective was to minimize changes, that is -Transition between Environmental Qualification to Equipment Qualification. -Incorporate mechanical and civil components in AMP221 minimum …some MS are required to include life limited mechanical and/or civil structures, systems or components (SSCs)… Life limiting condition is normally associated with material susceptibility to radiation and/or thermal ageing… seals qualified as pressure boundaries, or protective coatings qualified to prevent severe delamination… If these SSCs are in-scope a qualification re-assessment may be completed using the guidance contained within this AMP … qualification re-assessment usually involves assessments of the environmental effects on the life limiting items such as polymeric/elastomeric seals, gaskets or coatings… -Incorporate EPRI references “Equipment Qualification in Nuclear Installations” 2nd International Meeting, 23 – 26 May 2022, Řež, Czech Republic 27
Major changes in TLAA 201
• Complete scope of equipment qualification (three pillars of qualification:
Environmental, induced vibrations (seismic APC, etc.) and
electromagnetic disturbances.
• Scope sections includes a brief methodology for including equipment
into TLAA regarding vibrations occurrences (SSE+APC(*)) and/or TLAA
regarding accident conditions.
• Electromechanical equipment will be handled under this TLAA201 even
if it might be assigned to the active mechanical equipment as pumps or
valves.
• Also consumable components and materials of which shall be assessed
regarding environmental effects (i.e. thermal and radiation aging
susceptible) are included. Mention to polymeric coating, civil seals, etc.
(*)SSE: Safe Shutdown Earthquake APC: airplane crash
“Equipment Qualification in Nuclear Installations” 2nd International Meeting, 23 – 26 May 2022, Řež, Czech Republic 28Major changes in TLAA 201 (cont..)
• Appendix A Guidelines for the accelerated ageing testing for
establishing qualified life was modified. Tables containing values of
activation energies have been taken out since numbers without
explanation and background might be misleading. Consideration for use
of Ea and references are provided.
• Appendix B Practical Considerations of Thermal and Radiation
Ageing was included in order to expand information on: aging models;
multiple material aging and references to material data DB.
• Two more appendix (C and D) were added
– Appendix C provide example of Finite Element Method used for detailed
calculation of operational condition in the context of qualification
– Appendix D gathered and provide guidance on data needed for initial
qualification and/or when applying qualification assessment methods (*). In
particular required data is assigned to qualification assessment in a table
format.
(*) 1) Using conservatism, Method 2) Type test on aged samples from the plant, Method 3) Performing type test for longer qualified life and
Method 4) Component replacement
“Equipment Qualification in Nuclear Installations” 2nd International Meeting, 23 – 26 May 2022, Řež, Czech Republic 29Tasks ongoing in phase 6
• When the analysis and review of comments from MS of AMP 221
and TLAA 201 were performed two main concern about
consistency and clarity of the documents were identified.
– Both document complement each other most of the time in an implicit
form
– It was not clear why the reassessment of qualification was
considered an AMP while Qualification can be assume to be a TLAA.
• During Consultancy Meeting (October 2021) previous proposal of
future work for phase 6 focused on consolidation and consistency
between of AMP221 and TLAA 201 was extensively discussed. A
new approach was developed.
