Safety and availability are fundamental features of devices, power units, and entire power plants, regardless of the technology used for electricity and heat generation. These requirements become especially important for controllable sources of energy generation, such as conventional and nuclear sources, where apart from the source of heat for producing steam, the other components are generally the same or very similar. Their servicing and diagnosis share many common features. However, a specific feature, so far, of the process of transforming Polish energy is the decommissioning of coal units at a faster pace than the construction of nuclear units. This may mean that such an important technological local content could be a challenge, especially to the extent that Polish companies with high competence in the servicing and diagnosis of energy devices can currently manage. Gas power plants may not meet these expectations because they are often built even with a supplier service lasting several years in an LTSA formula. During the symposium, examples of modern servicing and diagnosing of equipment in nuclear and conventional power engineering will be presented, also by Polish and foreign companies providing services simultaneously for both types of power plants. A systematic approach to servicing and diagnosing will be presented, taking into account the identification of risks in the thermo-mechanical and physicochemical areas, also considering flexible work with varied intensity.
