Contribution to the safety assessment of instrumentation and control software for nuclear power plants: Application to SPIN N4

Conference ·
OSTI ID:54595
1300 MWe pressurized water reactors (PWRs), like the 1400 MWe reactors, operate with microprocessor-based safety systems. This is particularly the case for the Digital Integrated Protection System (SPIN), which trips the reactor in an emergency and sets in action the safeguard functions. The software used in these systems must therefore be highly dependable in the execution of their functions.
