dc.description.abstractAn Asset Management Plan (AMP) demonstrates responsive management of assets, compliance with regulatory requirements, and to communicate funding needed to provide the required levels of service. The key objectives of an AMP include the documenting of services/service levels to be provided and the costs of providing the service, communicating the consequences for service levels and risk, where desired funding is not available, and provides information to assist decision makers in trading off service levels, costs and risks to provide services in a financially sustainable manner. An aspects of the AMP is the Life Cycle Management Plan for plant and equipment which defines routine maintenance, upgrades, acquire/replacement of equipment. The focus of this paper will be on the routine maintenance component. Examples from the Australian OPAL Multipurpose Research Reactor will be presented demonstrating operating experience gained in optimising maintenance to achieve the desired level of reliability and availability. The benefits of a condition based maintenance approach, includes managing risks associated with plant failure, and sustainable use of the assets. Data collection methods becoming more cutting edge and supported by online continuous monitoring systems, allow for more accurate maintenance forecasting, provides alerts for plant variables that feed into decision making with asset operation and maintenance. Healthier assets translates to a safer facility for reactor personnel and more cost effective life cycle of assets through better management strategies.en_AU
