Integrated Performance Validation Facility for KNICS MMIS

Recently digital I and C systems are widely adopted for the instrumentation and control(I and C) systems of nuclear power plants(NPPs). For the application of new digital control and monitoring systems in nuclear power plants(NPPs), it is required to satisfy the proven technology requirements. It, EPRI-URD, requests the 'proven technology' which should have at least three years experience of documented, satisfactory service as modules of subsystems in the NPP or other plant applications similar to that of NPP. Because the digital control and monitoring systems of Korea Nuclear Instrumentation and Control System (KNICS) has no application experience in any NPPs as well as industrial and fossil power plants, KNICS R and D center chose the another option to verify their performance, operability and reliability according by EPRI-URD's another option, satisfactorily completing as well defined program of prototype testing' to verify its performance by using the stimulated full scope simulator
