The APSA Network aims at creating a common platform of interested parties from Europe and beyond to exchange information and latest developments in the area of incorporating ageing effects into PSA and use of Ageing PSA (APSA) applications as well as to perform common case studies in close relation to corresponding activities by OECD and IAEA.

The project's proposed working method is a NETWORK of operators, industry, research, academia and consultants with an active interest in the area (physical networking via a series of workshops and virtual networking via the Internet).

The resulting knowledge should help PSA developers and users to incorporate the effects of equipment ageing into current PSA tools and models, to identify and/or develop most effective corresponding methods, to focus on dominant ageing contributors and components and to promote the use of PSA for ageing management of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs).
