What is Proposal of quantification method of dynamic system reliability model of digital RPS using Markov state-transition model about?

In safety systems of the latest nuclear power plants such as the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) and the latest Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), digital circuits are used for start-up signals of a reactor protection system (RPS) and emergency core cooling systems (ECCS). And several studies have been conducted to develop the method to build a system reliability model of RPS to be combined with probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) so far. However, these studies have not been sufficiently progressed in terms of the quantitative evaluation and coupling with the conventional PRA method. Despite of the efforts of Task group of Digital system reliability failure mode taxonomy (DIGREL, later becoming Working Group on Digital Instrumentation and Control [WGDIC]) of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/ Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in this field, the situation has not changed sufficiently. From these backgrounds, this paper presents a rational quantitative evaluation method of the dynamic system reliability model of the digital RPS which can represent time-dependency and is consistent with the conventional PRA method.
