Abstract

Purpose: It is not easy to suggest a quantitative data related to safety analysis. The objective of this paper is to propose a method of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) analysis and to suggest a SIL analysis result for single station controller in nuclear power plant based on IEC 61508. Methods: The Failure Modes and Effects Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) and average probability of failure on demand (PFD) are used for SIL assessment. Results: A SIL of single station controller is evaluated 4 by a reliability analysis results and PFD. Conclusion: A SIL analysis method and result for single station controller based on IEC 61508 are proposed in this paper. It can applicable for a manufacturer data in safety-related system.
