7. Instrumentation and Controls AP1000 Design Control Document CHAPTER 7 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS 7.1 Introduction The instrumentation and control systems presented in this chapter provide protection against unsafe reactor operation during steady-state and transient power operations. They initiate selected protective functions to mitigate the consequences of design basis events. This chapter relates the functional performance requirements, design bases, system descriptions, and safety evaluations for those systems. The safety evaluations show that the systems can be designed and built to conform to the applicable criteria, codes, and standards concerned with the safe generation of nuclear power. Because of the rapid changes that are taking place in the digital computer and graphic display technologies employed in a modern human system interface, design certification of the AP1000 focuses upon the process used to design and implement instrumentation and control systems for the AP1000, rather than on the specific implementation. The design specifics provided here are included as an example for illustration. DCD Chapter 7 for the AP1000 has been written to describe the protection system hardware using the Common Qualified Platform (Common Q) described in References 8 and 13 (which include the NRC SER). The IC functional requirements of the AP600, which has received Design Certification, have been retained to the maximum extent compatible with the Common Q hardware and software. The terminology used for Chapter 7 is intended to be independent of any product, but when this is not possible, Common Q termi
