The Role of Performance Assessment Groups In Bringing the OPG Maintenance to the World Class Level

Abstract

Ontario Power Generation Nuclear Power Plants are striving to bring their performance to a level comparable with the best performing plants in the world. This paper will discuss the role of independent internal assessment in this endeavor with a particular focus on maintenance activities. The independent internal assessment program is executed by the Plant Performance Assessment groups. These groups have a potential to significantly contribute to the success of the endeavor. The potential, however, has to be understood and utilized by the Maintenance Management. There are certain conditions and attributes that must be in place for the program to meet this expectation. They are discussed in the following presentation.
