Abstract
In this paper, a design method of fault-tolerance is presented for the nuclear digital control systems composed of software and hardware. As a quantitative design method measure of fault-tolerance, we used Reliability, Availability and Safety. To implement the proposed fault-tolerance, a prototype system has been devised for the digital control systems and a quantitative method of 'Markovian Model' is applied. The results provide the appropriate degree of redundancy and diversity, and fail-safe.
