Issues of operating systems usage for nuclear power plants

摘要

In this paper, we discuss problems of selecting and justifying operational software, especially operating systems. Operating systems must meet the requirements of international organisations (e.g., IEAE, IEC, ISO). The most important standards (IEC 61513:2011, ISO/IEC 23360-1:2006 and ISO/IEC 27032:2012) were analysed. Furthermore, the issue of conformance one of the most widespread operating system Linux to the requirements of the standards was analysed.
