What is the main responsibility of the maintenance station department?

The primary responsibility of the maintenance station department is to ensure that all plant equipment is kept in good working condition. This involves regular inspections, repairs, and maintenance activities that are crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the plant. Proper maintenance helps prevent equipment failures, which can lead to safety hazards and operational disruptions. Ensuring that machinery and systems function effectively is vital for overall plant reliability and compliance with regulatory standards.

Training new employees, managing safety protocols, and controlling reactor power are important aspects of plant operations but fall under different departments or roles. The maintenance department specifically focuses on the upkeep and reliability of equipment, which directly supports the operational integrity of the facility.
