The integrated Protection System (IPS) is intended to perform the protection functions of the Italian Nuclear Power Plants. The IPS is based on a distributed microprocessor system architecture, and is designed to be highly reliable. The reliability is assured, from others, through the use of redundancy and functional diversity. Failures that, in spite of redundancy, can impair the system are the Common Mode Failures (CMF) (1).
