The Regulatory Perspective On Digital Systems

摘要

As digital systems become more and more ubiquitous, replacing aging analog systems, they will play an ever-increasing role in the protection and control systems of both existing and future nuclear power plant designs. I have no doubt that current and future digital technology will have multiple applications-improving, for example, the effectiveness of human-machine interfaces, the precision by which plants can monitor and control reactor parameters to maintain safety, and the ability to diagnose and predict plant equipment failures.
