Abstract
In order to improve the safety and reliability of the safety related software for the nuclear power plant, the verification and validation (V&V) is necessary for the software in the whole development life cycle based on nuclear laws and principles requirement. Nuclear Safety software implementation phase means using programming language to perform system requirement specifications. Implementation V&V activities based software design documentation to verification and validation the correctness, accuracy and completeness of the source code. This paper considered the regulation and law requirements and given the test types of implementation V&V activities. The test process of implementation V&V activities for safety software in nuclear power plant has been given. The paper also proposed the key points of the test case and the principles that the test person need to follow.
