Diversity Assessment of Nuclear Power Plants Instrumentation and Control Systems

  • Conference paper
Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management

Abstract

An approach to analysis of multiversion I&C systems which bases on theoretic-set model of defects is proposed. Metrics for evaluation of diversity are proposed and analyzed.
