Abstract

This paper describes an experience on the equipment qualification of CRCS(control rod control system) that has been developed for nuclear power plants. A very high level criteria should be satisfied for the equipment to be used for nuclear power plants. We have developed a CRCS that is aimed to be applied to commercial plants. This system adopts a duplex system structure that is based on the state-of-the-art digital technology so that it has higher reliability than the existing systems. The CRCS has been tested at a licensed testing organization and finally qualified. In this paper, the procedures and some trial-and-errors we have been through in the qualification process are explained. It is expected that our experience will be a helpful tips to the industry that are developing various systems for safety-critical plants.
