Abstract

With the development of digital technology in nuclear power plants, more and more commercial grade software is being widely used in nuclear power plants. However, there has not been formed a unified dedication standards at domestic and overseas, which not only brings certain difficulties for dedication, but also has a certain impact on the safety of nuclear power plants. Based on the analysis of related standards at domestic and overseas, combined with the software V&V experience in practical work, this paper presents a set of practical Commercial grade software dedication methods. It can not only guide the dedication of Commercial grade software of China’s nuclear power plants, but also can provide a reference for the dedication of commercial grade software of HPR1000.
