The influence of safety on control system design using a probability approach
Description
The basic principles of a probability approach to safety aspects of reactor control are explained. The method is then applied to the safety of a reactor control system under normal operation and also under automatic control, with particular reference to the SGHWR. Emergency conditions are considered and the probability principle is applied to the detection system, shut-down system and emergency cooling, in order to determine their reliabilities. (U.K.)
