Arrêts pour rechargement faisant perdre de la disponibilité. Le passage à des cycles de 18 mois, bientôt de 2 ans, grâce à l'évolution du combustible, améliore le taux de disponibilité et, déjà, les meilleurs producteurs d’électricité exploitant leurs réacteurs en base font mieux que 90 %. Ces arrêts périodiques pour rechargement sont un inconvénient qu'il faut relativiser, car ils servent également à effectuer la maintenance et l'inspection périodique réglementaire. 1, record 2, French, - arr%C3%AAt%20pour%20rechargement

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pressure decay has been the most widely used method of leak testing in manufacturing production lines for decades. The process is uncomplicated, inexpensive and easily automated. Air is injected into a test object, and any decrease in air pressure over time signifies a leak. However, the pressure decay method has limited sensitivity and is unable to determine the location of leaks. 4, record 3, English, - pressure%20decay%20test

Desired attributes for the SOV include responsive on-demand launch, high sortie rates, short turnaround times, and aircraft-like systems operability. 3, record 4, English, - space%20operations%20vehicle
