Reliability program plan for field programmable gate array-based I&C system of nuclear power plant

Abstract

Reliability program plan (RPP) for instrumentation and control (I&C) system with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology for the system platform should develop to ensure the reliability of systems and components both hardware and software since reliability is one of mandatory requirement from the regulator and industrial standards of nuclear power generating station safety system. Therefore, it is very important to arrange which methodologies and tools that will be used to verification and validation (V&V) both hardware and software which is concerned as reliable I&C system since it is mandatory to meet the safety system criteria because have to handle the complex safety I&C system. This RPP should be designed by referring to the condition of the type of the reactor. To be applied on 10MW high temperature gas- cooled reactor-test module (HTR-10) which is a high temperature reactor with gas coolant system, the design should be conditioned for high temperature environment. This paper present the RPP...
