WG 7

Reliability of electrical equipment in reactor safety systems

The WGA7 produces and maintains standards and reports for the design of high reliability Instrumentation and Control systems important to safety. The main focus of the Group is the application of deterministic and probabilistic approaches to the overall system design activity, together with the related aspects of testing, monitoring and maintenance of systems important to safety in order to assure the continued achievement of high reliability of safety functions. The scope also includes the consideration of certain generic system design aspects, such as the achievement of independence.
The scope excludes detailed aspects concerning techniques for the design of hardware and software for equipment and instruments.
