Abstract:This paper presents a reliability model for digital reactor protection systems (RPSs) in floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) that accounts for both the internal characteristics of RPS and the external environment. The internal characteristics of RPS include independent failures and common-cause failures (CCFs) of components, repair behavior, and actuation logic degradation. For the external environment, we incorporated a parts-pressure method and used the environmental factors to describe the impact of marin… Show more
