Safety for life: safety I&C systems- configuration management handles long-term product support

摘要

The life cycles of I&C systems in nuclear power plants and the innovation cycles in the field of digital technology are not in synch with one another. For digital I&C systems in nuclear power plants the original quality characteristics musttherefore be maintained over a long period of time. Siemens has developed an overall concept which views system support for the individual plant safety I&C as a continuation of the system implementation process performed by the manufacturer.
