SC-3 Operations, Maintenance, Aging, Testing and Reliability
Welcome to the IEEE NPEC SC-3 Website!
Subcommittee 3 is responsible for the NPEC standards related to the treatment of matters relating to the operations, maintenance, aging monitoring, surveillance testing, and analysis of the reliability of electrical and electronic systems and equipment for nuclear power generating stations and facilities. Additionally, the subcommittee is responsible for the NPEC standard regarding risk-informed categorization and treatment of electrical and electronic equipment at nuclear facilities. Included are the development of system requirements and methods for monitoring, maintaining, and testing of electrical and electronic equipment during construction, plant startup and operation, the coordination of nuclear standards, the sponsorship of technical sessions, the preparation of and review of technical papers, the dissemination of information to the industry on new developments and the advancement of nuclear engineering with students and educational institutions.
The following NPEC Standards are maintained by SC-3. WG internal documents are maintained within iMeet Central. Please contact the WG chair if you require access to iMeet Central. If you have forgotten your access credentials, contact Christian Orlando for assistance.
