Shanghai, May 30, 2011- May 18^th to 20^th, 2011, SNERDI held IAEA Workshop on Equipment Qualification in Nuclear Power Plants.

Equipment Qualification (abbreviated as EQ) is the generation and maintenance of evidence to ensure that the equipment will operate on demand, to meet system performance requirements (IEEE - 323) and also an important component of Plant Life Management. This meeting is an activity under the framework of IAEA and SNERDI technological cooperation program - “The Development and Implementation of Plant life Management for Safe Long Term Operation of Nuclear Power Plants”. Four IAEA experts participated in this workshop. They are IAEA technical official Mr. Ludovit Kupca, Ms. Kasia Doerffer from AECL, Canada, Mr. Miroslav Lukac from VUJE, Slovakia and Mr. Gonzalez Nieto from TECNATOM, Spain.

During three days’ session, experts respectively made presentations on the issues of “EQ Definition, Requirements and Basic Concepts, Standards and Regulations”, “EQ Process and EQ Lists”, “EQ Program Development: Review of All the Issues Critical in the Design of an EQ Program”, “EQ Testing Facilities Requirements”, “EQ as a Safety Factor of Safety Analysis Reports, PSR and Tool for LTO of NPPs”, etc. Experts also introduced the developing history, current conditions and related laws and regulations of EQ in their own countries. SNERDI experts gave a presentation on the EQ practices in China and New Challenge in AP1000 Projects.

The workshop attracted over 30 other attendees from more than 10 domestic organizations and companies, among which are Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center of Ministry of Environmental Protection, Qinshan NPC, Shandong NPC, Sanmen NPC, Nuclear Power Institute of China, Shanghai Institute of Process Automation Instrumentation, three other subsidiaries of SNPTC apart from SNERDI: SNPEC, SNPSC and SNPAS, etc.

This EQ workshop provided a powerful communication platform for both foreign and domestic experts. Their systematic and comprehensive presentations covered almost every aspect of EQ work. Mr. Dou Yikang, Deputy Chief Engineer of SNERDI, also the workshop organizer, concluded that the meeting was effective and productive as expected. EQ work needs collaborative cooperation from all sides, such as plant owners, designers, contractors, suppliers, laboratories and nuclear safety regulatory authorities. The success of this workshop will better promote the development of EQ in China.
