SANTA BARBARA, CA - July 6, 2006 - A recent 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.
