Reliability Analysis of Core Protection Calculator System using Petri Net

As digital systems are introduced to nuclear power plants, issues related with reliability analyses of these digital systems are being raised. One of these issues is that static Fault Tree (FT) and Event Tree (ET) approach cannot properly account for dynamic interactions in the digital systems, such as multiple top events, logic loops and time delay. This study proposes an approach to analyzing...
