Description
Demonstrating that a probabilistic target of 10-3 can be met for the system safety unavailability of redundant channel trip systems of power and thermal power research reactors has been one of the cornerstones of Canadian nuclear safety philosophy for decades. This paper discusses the unavailability analysis from 21 years of experience with safety system testing on the 135 MW(th) NRU research reactor at Chalk River Laboratories. (author)
