This paper presents a methodology of data validation and fault identification, based on analytic redundancy, for steady-state plant operation. This work differs from previously reported work on analytic redundancy in that validation of all the main parameters of the plant heat-transport loops is sought by using plant-wide instrument information. An LMFBR plant is used as a reference, and validation of the following plant parameters is considered: reactor power (Q), reactor inlet and outlet coolant temperatures (T/sub IC/ and T/sub OC/, respectively), intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) inlet and outlet secondary coolant temperatures (T/sub IS/, T/sub OS/), steam generator feedwater temperature (T/sub w/), steam temperature (T/sub S/) and pressure (P/sub s/) as well as primary, intermediate, and feedwater flows (G/sub p/, G/sub I/, G/sub w/).
