Upcoming Seminars
NKS-R DIGREL
Reliability analysis of digital systems in PSA context
26 November, 2013, VTT Digitalo, Vuorimiehentie 3, Espoo, Finland
In 2007, the OECD/NEA CSNI directed the Working Group on Risk Assessment (WGRisk) to set up a task group (TG) to coordinate an activity on digital instrumentation and control (DIC) system risk. One of the recommendations was to develop a taxonomy of hardware and software failure modes of digital components for the purpose of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA). A new WGRisk TG was set up in 2010 to develop best practice guidelines on failure modes taxonomy for reliability assessment of digital I&C systems for PSA. This activity is supported by a parallel Nordic research project financed by NKS, Nordic PSA Group and the Finnish nuclear safety research programme SAFIR. The project will develop a technically sound and feasible failure mode taxonomy and best practice guidelines on the use of the taxonomy in modelling, data collection and quantification of digital I&C system reliability. In 2013, one of the focus areas has been the software reliability quantification.
In the NKS-R DIGREL seminar, results of the DIGREL task will be presented to the Nordic end users (experts from other countries are welcomed as well). Previous years’ work has been published in the NKS report series NKS-230, NKS-261, NKS-277.
Please, register to the meetings by e-mail to tero.tyrvainen@vtt.fi (phone +358 40 7760841) or jan-erik.holmberg@riskpilot.se (phone +358 40 827 665) by November 8, 2013.
The seminar is open to any person who is interested in the topic.
Helsinki-Vantaa airport is the closest airport to VTT located in Espoo. Each participant is responsible for his/her own hotel bookings. More detailed travelling information can be asked from Tero Tyrväinen.
