IEEE standard criteria for safety systems for nuclear power generating stations

This standard establishes minimum functional design criteria for the power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear power generating station safety systems. These criteria are established to provide a means for promoting safe practices for design and evaluation of safety system performance and reliability. However, adhering to these criteria will not necessarily fully establish the adequacy of any safety system's functional performance and reliability; nonetheless, omission of any of these criteria will, in most instances, be an indication of safety system inadequacy
