Long Term OperationIAEA Definition
“The LTO of an NPP may be defined as operation beyond an established
time frame set forth by, for example, license term, design, standards,
license or regulations, which have been justified by safety assessment
with consideration given to life limiting processes and features of
Systems Structures and Components.
Long term operation is conditioned by regulatory requirements and
subject to regulatory authorization, and usually also to public or political
acceptance.
In practice, LTO is only possible when an appropriate safety assessment
has been performed, and the results have been found to be favorable
concerning safety of the NPP involved.”

Long Term OperationIAEA Overview -Year in which the plants
reach their respective design life
Until 2025, 15 to 20 NPPs per year on average will need to renew their operating license
→ About 50% will apply for LTO

Long Term OperationCustomer Issue
▪ Other energy sources can generate a higher investment
rather than nuclear long term operation
▪ Building new NPP (or dismantling a NPP) can be
expensive for major utilities, so one of the best
alternative is to operate longer
▪ Justification is needed but uncertainties exist on:
• Regulation evolutions
• Potential replacement of components
• Political situations
• Public acceptance

▪ Shielding fuel assemblies
Only Framatome has a proven Shielding assembly design
▪ Film-forming amines is a patented chemical solution by
Framatome used to prevent fast-progressing damages on the
structural materials inside the steam generator due to
corrosion or pollution. The amines are introduced into the
working fluid and deposit on the surfaces, thus creating a
water-repellent protective layer that keeps corrosion
particles and other debris from adhering to the surfaces
(lotus effect).
▪ Cavitation peening: The Ultra High Pressure Cavitation
Peening process will help mitigate the risk of occurrence of
Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) for the
remaining life of the plant at a much lower cost and lower
outage impact than traditional repair methods and without
risk of damaging the primary circuit components, and will
likely reduce the frequency of Non Destructive Examination
inspections
