description British Energy has a fleet of 8 nuclear power stations in the UK. Much of the control and instrumentation (C&I) equipment is over 30 years old. British Energy and its predecessors have a long history of effectively managing ageing and obsolescence of C&I equipment. There are new internal and external expectations and challenges. These arise from aspirations to extend the life of plant, the need to manage risk and investment, newly published standards and not least the continuing march of time and its effects on equipment. This presentation will describe the development of British Energy's response to these challenges. The strategy and some implementation details will be presented. While what will be presented will represent work in progress, it has progressed to a point where there are some useful lessons for other organisations involved in similar asset lifetime management programmes.
