On-line Testing of Calibration of Process Instrumentation Channels in Nuclear Power Plants by H. M. Hashemian,Analysis and Measurement Services Corporation,U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. Division of Systems Technology Pdf

This report provides key results of a three-year experimental and theoretical research and development effort performed under the auspices of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The goal of the R&D was to establish the validity of online calibration monitoring of process instrumentation channels in nuclear power plants. The author concludes that the normal outputs of instrument channels in nuclear plants can be monitored over a fuel cycle while the plant is operating and during startup and shutdown periods to verify the calibration of the instruments, thereby improving plant efficiency and safety, eliminating unnecessary calibrations, and reducing operations and maintenance costs.

Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems in Nuclear Power Plants by Committee on Application of Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems to Nuclear Power Plant Operations and Safety,Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,National Research Council Pdf

The nuclear industry and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) have been working for several years on the development of an adequate process to guide the replacement of aging analog monitoring and control instrumentation in nuclear power plants with modern digital instrumentation without introducing off-setting safety problems. This book identifies criteria for the USNRC's review and acceptance of digital applications in nuclear power plants. It focuses on eight areas: software quality assurance, common-mode software failure potential, systems aspects of digital instrumentation and control technology, human factors and human-machine interfaces, safety and reliability assessment methods, dedication of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, the case-by-case licensing process, and the adequacy of technical infrastructure.

Human Factors Engineering Aspects of Instrumentation and Control System Design by IAEA Pdf

Safety, reliability, and productivity in the nuclear industry result from a systematic consideration of human performance. A plant or other facility consists of both the engineered system and the human users of that system. It is therefore crucial that engineering activities consider the humans who will be interacting with those systems. Engineering design, specifically instrumentation and control (I&C) design, can influence human performance by driving how plant personnel carry out work and respond to events within a nuclear power plant. As a result, human–system interfaces (HSIs) for plant operators as well as the maintenance and testing of the I&C system cannot be designed by isolated disciplines. The focus of this publication is to integrate knowledge from the disciplines of human factors engineering (HFE) and I&C to emphasize an interdisciplinary approach for the design of better HSIs and consequently improved human performance in nuclear power plants. This is accomplished by practical explanations of the HFE processes and corresponding outputs that inform the I&C development. More specifically, the publication addresses issues in the design process where collaboration between HFE, I&C and other important disciplines and stakeholders is paramount and identifies key tools and tasks for exchanging inputs and outputs between different design disciplines, particularly I&C and HFE. The practical information provided in this publication is intended to support Member States’ capabilities to improve their approach to I&C through the consideration of HFE.
