Abstract
The major functions and architecture of a Nuclear Power Plant Protection System are designed to meet the safety issues. Both the analogic and the digital designs are able to satisfy the requirements.
A computer based architecture presents a higher integration capability and is characterized by distributability, modularity and flexibility features. To face faults, errors and other anomalous or unexpected behaviours, fault—tolerance and self diagnosis can be implemented. WESTINGHOUSE, ANSALDO S.p.A./Div. NIRA and various Italian organizations are developing, under WESTINGHOUSE responsibility, a microprocessor based Integrated Protection System (IPS), whose high integrity design is presented in the paper.
