Commercial nuclear power plants, which are 1960s vintage, are in the process of upgrading their systems. With the aging of power plants, the reluctance to construct new plants, and the obsolescence of components, utilities are seeking to improve their equipment in order to reduce their operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. When upgrading existing obsolete systems, computer-based systems are obvious candidates for these upgrades. Among the many computer-based system options available, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have seen a widespread use in the nuclear industry. Among the most popular candidate systems for digital upgrades using PLCs are load sequencers.
