IEEE 497-1981 IEEE Standard Criteria for Accident Monitoring Instrumentation for Nuclear Power Generating Stations

IEEE 497-1981 Стандарт IEEE Критерии Accident мониторингового оборудования для атомных станций, вырабатывающих энергии

This standard applies to the design of instrumentation provided for the control room operator to monitor variables required to determine accident conditions within nuclear power generating stations. The criteria apply to accident monitoring instrumentaton required during the period from accident initiation, through the point in time when personnel access is possible to commence activities in parts of the plant that require inspection, repair, or replacement.Instrumentation addressed by this standard is the minimum necessary for the control room operator to: (1) take the preplanned manual actions to accomplish and maintain safe plant shutdown for design basis accident events; (2) assess the processes of accomplishing and maintaining critical safety functions (that is, reactivity control, core cooling, reactor coolant system integrity, primary reactor containment integrity, and radioactive effluent control); and (3) monitor the extent to which those variables which have the potential for causing a breach of the primary reactor containment have exceeded the design basis values, or that the incore fuel cladding, the reactor coolant pressure boundary, or the primary containment may have been breached.The scope of the standard is limited to onsite environmental and process monitoring
