Microcomputer-based reactor safety system
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5197808
A modular system consisting of microprocessors is proposed for control of reactor safety. The microprocessor CPU's are best checked by means of hardware. Hardware comparison of two microprocessors operating in synchronism allows errors to be detected during operation of the functional program and does not detract from its efficiency. The hardware can be made reliable through a conbination of self-checking and redundancy. In addition, it can monitor all memory and I/O data transfers by monitoring the 8-bit data bus. Programs were developed to perform the various tasks required by the reactor safety system.
