Dear Readers, Our customers have production facilities in many countries around the world. Uniform and high-quality customer standards are in place for virtually all production plants worldwide and innovations are often being put into practice, particularly in new plants outside Germany. We have many years of experience in dealing with the challenges and processes of our key custom- ers. This leads to great opportunities to support our customers in their operations outside Germany. And we are becoming increasingly successful in exploiting these opportunities. Excellent examples include contracts with Ciba- Vision, Outotec, Ossberger and Federal Mogul. Awareness of the local conditions and requirements in the relevant countries is crucial in driving forward this strategy and achieving success in the long term. There are a great many (4) Cegelec ways of gathering information, e.g. by attending PCK-Raffinerie in Schwedt: Around two-thirds of the production facilities are out of action during the inspection. dedicated training courses and, above all, by col- laborating in the international network of VINCI SCHWEDT The refinery in Schwedt 65 permanent members of staff.

In particular, neither the IAEA nor any other organization or body sponsoring this meeting can be held responsible for any material reproduced in this document. toft BLANK - 3 - FOREWORD Though the majority of existing control and protection systems in nuclear power plants use old analogue technology and design philosophy, the use of computers in safety and safety related systems is becoming a current practice. The Specialists Meeting on "Computerized Reactor Protection and Safety Related Systems in Nuclear Power Plants" was organized by IAEA (jointly by the Division of Nuclear Power and the Fuel Cycle and the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety), in co-operation with Paks Nuclear Power Plant in Hungary and was held from 27-29 October 1997 in Budapest, Hungary. The meeting focused on computerized safety systems under refurbishment, software reliability issues, licensing experiences and experiences in implemented computerized safety and safety related systems. Within a meeting programme a technical visit to Paks NPP was organized. The objective of the meeting was to provide an international form for the presentation and discussion on R&D, in-plant experiences in I&C important to safety, backfits and arguments for and reservations against the digital safety systems.

    IAEA-IWG-NPPCI-95/10 LIMITED DISTRIBUTION WORKING MATERIAL MODERNIZATION OF INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS Proceedings of a Specialists' Meeting Organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Co-operation with Institute for Safety Technology fISTecJ and held in Garching, Germany, 4-7 July 1995 Reproduced by the IAEA Vienna, Austria, 1995 NOTE The material in this document has been supplied by the authors and has not been edited by the IAEA. The views expressed remain the responsibility of the named authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the government(s) of the designating Member State(s). In particular, neither the IAEA nor any other organization or body sponsoring this meeting can be held responsible for any material reproduced in this document. VDL Session 1: Upgrading I&C: Vendors' and Utilities Views Chairman: Mr. W. Basil, Germany FOREWORD Instrumentation and Control (I&C) is directly associated with the performance of all safety functions and its reliability should be consistent with the reliability of the respective mechanical or electrical systems. I&C is also the interface between the operator and the plant and, as such, has a paramount significance for safety. For the same reason, I&C is closely linked to the operating procedures and both should be assessed at the same time. The present situation in the nuclear industry is characterized by a decreasing number of new plants and an increasing amount of installations where backfitting measures are to be expected. Instrumentation and control equipment in nuclear power plants have a special role, because their technological life span is about ten years and the innovation time even shorter.

  • Software Quality Management and Process Improvement with the MODAL Development Methodology
    Transactions on Information and Communications Technologies vol 9, © 1994 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3517 Software quality management and process improvement with the MODAL development methodology J. Wright Method Support Department, Cegelec RED, 5 avenue Newton, 92140 Clamart, France ABSTRACT The paper describes the adaptation of an existing software development methodology in order to introduce a number of software metrics intended to increase visibility of the development process and guide quality actions at the project and divisional levels. The chosen indicators are described, together with some initial experiences gathered from a pilot project responsible for validating the approach taken. A number of lessons learned are described, particularly relating to data collection and the need to carefully define elements of the programme in order to gain acceptance by the development team. 1. MODAL : A DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY FOR CONTROL ENGINEERING SOFTWARE Cegelec is the electrical engineering branch of the Alcatel-Alsthom group, and realises around 40% of its turnover in the industrial process control and service sector including automation, regulation, instrumentation and supervision of processes. The systems and products developed use computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), communications networks and related electrotechnical equipment, and are driven by software operating in complex real-time embedded environments. In 1986, the Industrial Control Branch of Cegelec was faced with the realisation that software was playing a progressively more important role in the systems which it was developing, to such an extent that the principal business focus was moving from industrial equipment supplies to real-time software development. The Research and Development Division (RED) of the BPT branch responsible for developing new products and technologies was charged with investigating the adoption of a software development methodology for use on all industrial automation and control projects.

In all kinds of high-precision light measurements, high sensitivity and high QE are absolutely essential elements in extending detection limits and unlocking new knowledge. For Hamamatsu, however, this 45% QE is just one more step along the road. Aiming for the peak of PMT performance will open up all kinds of new possibilities.
