This publication provides guidance on developing the overall instrumentation and control (I&C) architecture of a nuclear power plant, emphasizing safety, availability, operability, and security. It discusses technical considerations for the design and introduces an architectural development process.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 55 pages

Publisher: IAEA


This comprehensive publication delves into the intricate realm of establishing the overarching instrumentation and control (I&C) architecture for nuclear power plants. It provides a detailed account of the characteristics and content of general I&C architectures, elucidates architectural principles, and addresses the potential limitations imposed by postulated common cause failures. Moreover, it introduces an architectural development process, emphasizing technical considerations for design. The publication underscores the paramount importance of safety, delves into the defense in depth concept, and also encompasses considerations of plant availability, operability, and security. Recognizing the potential ramifications of I&C failures on plant availability and operability, particularly in the context of increased architectural complexity, the text explores the optimization of I&C functionality and features required to ensure optimal performance.
