French EPR project: a preliminary test for assessing the feasibility of the designprinciples under consideration for computerized operation

摘要

This paper describes the assessment approach implemented by Electricité de Francern(EDF) to assess the feasibility of the design principles under consideration by the Frenchrnutility for the EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) computerized operationrnThe first part of this paper deals with the approach used for defining the content andrnprotocol of the tests. In the second part, we make a brief presentation of the means (testbed),rnpeople (logistics, observers, operating crews) and organization (progress of therntests) used to carry out these tests.
