Abstract

Electricité de France has reċcently implemented a Reliability Data Collection System in six pressurized water reactors. This system is devoted to the study of mechanical and electrical devices. The first results, issued in April 1979, although not very accurate, provide interesting information about the behaviour of the equipment they are related to. An original way to quickly get more precise data consists of pooling or exchanging information coming from different facilities where similar equipment is in use.
