Abstract

High reliability is one of the main objectives of the design and operation of Control Systems in Nuclear Power Plants. This paper presents a method of reliability analysis for these systems using various reliability techniques and engineering judgement. The step-by-step analysis includes system study, field data, failure mode and effect analysis, common mode failures, fault trees, human factors, reliability targets, and design reviews. To illustrate this method, the Liquid Zone Control System for CANDU nuclear reactor control is used.
