"Our equipment aging reliability process doesn't integrate with component maintenance work orders, EPIX equipment failure cause reporting or other programs. Programs just get more complex. Check valves, MOV's, single point vulnerabilities, life cycle management, now equipment reliability - isolated programs abound. Each overlapping program's owner sees only their area. INPO, EPRI, and even NRC programs claim multiple benefits - fewer precursor events, reduction of critical equipment failures and lower maintenance costs. Where are they? We can't even understand how some of our equipment got on INPO critical equipment lists - there's no rationale. Defense-in-depth made our Equipment Reliability Program complex. Our "PM basis" removes critical regulatory sting, yet we've never maintained it.; we can't. It's too expensive; besides, it was developed by a contractor. Why can't we solve equipment aging obsolescence? We haven't installed distributed controls or rotary compressors. We can't even buy new microprocessor-based power supplies! Nuclear plants alone use thirty-year old analog controls! Why can't we modernize?"
