Reliability analysis of microcomputer circuit modules and computer based control systems important to safety of nuclear power plants

摘要

Computer based safety related control and instrumentation (C & I) systems are being employed in Indian Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). These system are designed around standardized family of microcomputer based circuit modules, which are qualified to the stringent requirements of the nuclear industry. Reliability analysis of standardized microcomputer circuit modules, used in the safety related C & I systems, were carried out using the analysis package based on the methodology and database of MIL-STD- 217-F1.
