It is desirable when an obsolete system is replaced to take advantage of improvements in technology to improve the performance of the system and add additional functionality that experience with the old system has demonstrated would be desirable. The NOK Beznau plant is a two unit nuclear power plant located in Beznau Switzerland. NOK Beznau being a progressive thinking company decided that it was time to replace their obsolete plant computer and they should include in their requirements a system that would take advantage of the new emerging technology. They also wanted an architecture that would be able to incorporate new functions and grow as their needs increased. After reviewing the systems available at that time NOK Beznau decided to increase the role of their plant computer to that of the primary Man Machine Interface (MMI) for the plant. A specification was developed that included their detailed requirements and in addition permitted them to have a high degree of involvement in the design of the system. This paper explains the NOK method of implementing their goals.
