Signal validation in nuclear power plants: Progress report No. 6

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7175738
This report summarizes the progress in the Signal Validation Project for the period April-June, 1988. The Annual Progress Report was submitted to the US Department of Energy in May, 1988. On April 27, 1988, Combustion Engineering, Inc. in Windsor, Connecticut, was visited and topics related to the Signal Validation Project were discussed. Northeast Utilities was visited on April 28, 1988, and arrangements were made to acquire more plant operational data (PWR steady-state data). A written request was made to EBR-II to transfer a large plant data base. Two more modules have been added to the signal validation system architecture. These are generalized consistency checking for multiple signals (GCCM), and the hypercube memory structure (HMS) for data representation and diagnostics. The single variable consistency checking has been included as part of the system executive, and is currently functional on the Micro VAX-II workstation.
