Whitestone Report: Service Life Study has Facilities M&R Funding Implications

WASHINGTON, DC - July 20, 2006 - A recently study for the National Nuclear Security Administration found that service lives of mechanical equipment can be substantially longer-twice as long, for some equipment-than suggested in the technical literature. Replacing major mechanical equipment based on the longer life estimates could reduce overall facility M&R costs by 5 percent or more. However, additional study is needed before these findings can be generalized to other facilities.
