초록

The Digital Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (DESFAS) of nuclear power plants actuates safety systems to mitigate severe accidents occurred in nuclear power plants. The reliability of the system should be evaluated in order to meet the reliability criteria of nuclear power plants. In this work, we have calculated and evaluated the lifetime of DESFAS by using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) and failure rates of digital control components. Surveillance test is assumed in the evaluation. The result shows that the digital control component can be used in DESFAS system.
