Application of Tabular Methods to the Specification and Verification of a Nuclear Reactor Shutdown System
This paper describes the use of tabular methods at Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPGI) 1 on the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station Shutdown System (SDS) Trip Computer Software Redesign Project. We first motivate the selection of tabular methods and provide an overview of the Systematic Design Verification (SDV) procedure. After reviewing some preliminary concepts, the paper describes how th...
متن کاملEstimation of Shutdown Reactivity in Power Reactor: Comparative Study of Inverse Point Kinetics and Kalman Filtering
Measurement and on-line display of reactivity are of great help in calibration of reactivity control and safety devices and planning of suitable actions during the reactor operation. Reactivity can be estimated by the traditional Inverse Point Kinetics (IPK) method or by a recently developed Kalman filtering (KF) based method. The KF based reactivity estimation proves superior to IPK method, es...
متن کاملLearning from the Causes of Failures of Offshore Riser Emergency Shutdown Valves
Riser emergency shutdown valves (RESDVs) are an essential risk reduction measure for offshore installations and are a legal requirement under the Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996. The RESDV should isolate the topsides from the well and subsea pipeline in the event of an emergency shutdown, to reduce the inventory for loss of containment or when required for maintenance. RESDV failures, whether...
متن کاملTuberculosis & traditional medicine: fighting the oldest infectious disease, using the oldest source of medicine
It is believed that tuberculosis has been killing human beings for over 4000 years. Several reports exist of ancient Egyptian mummies having signs of tubercular decay in their bodies. After the discovery of powerful anti-TB drugs such as streptomycin, isoniazid and rifampin during 1940-70s, it was thought that TB would be gone from the face of the earth, but tuberculosis still remains one of th...
متن کاملFormally Veriied Building Blocks in Functional Logic Diagrams for Emergency Shutdown System Design
The task of safeguarding systems is to bring processes from dangerous into safe states. A special class of safeguarding systems are emergency shutdown systems (ESD), which, until now, are only implemented in inherently fail safe hardwired forms. Despite their high reliability, there is an urgent industrial need to replace them by more exible systems. Therefore, in an earlier work, a dedicated p...
