This book identifies criteria for the USNRC's review and acceptance of digital applications in nuclear power plants. It focuses on eight areas: software quality assurance, common-mode software failure potential, systems aspects of digital instrumentation and control technology, human factors and human-machine interfaces, safety and reliability assessment methods, dedication of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, the case-by-case licensing process, and the adequacy of technical infrastructure. 606 $aNuclear power plants$xInstruments 606 $aDigital control systems 615 0$aNuclear power plants$xInstruments. 615 0$aDigital control systems. 676 $a621.48/3 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970648203321 996 $aDigital instrumentation and control systems in nuclear power plants$94353084 997 $aUNINA
