Quali0 cation of Advanced !&C S) stems 1.
OHJECTIVES OF PROPOSED WORK:
The instrumentation and control (l&C) systems in advanced light v.ater reactors ( ALWRs) such as AP600, SBWR, ABWR, and SYS80+ will make extensive use of digital controls, microprocessors, muhiplexing, and fiber optic signal transmission.
Dements of these and other new I&C technologies have been and are also being implemented on some existing nuclear plants.
The use of new technology requires the deselopment and revision of standards and guides to ensure the qualification and operability of I&C equipment in a nuclear power plant.
De objectives of this project are to gain an understanding of the issues insolsed in qualifying advanced I&C systems proposed for the safety systems of both ALWR power plants and currently operating light water reactor (LWR) power plants and to develop the technical basis for regulatory guidance to assure that the unique characteristics of microprocessor based I&C svstems are adequately cualified for the environmental conditions they are expected to experience.
The research approach taken is to: 1) identify new features and performance characteristics of advanced safety related I&C systems proposed for use in both presently operating and future nuclear power plants,2) determine any unique vulnerabilities and environmental limitations of digital I&C systems that need to be considered for qualification, and 3) evaluate whether current guidance is adequate for environmentally qualifying microprocessor based I&C systems for safety related application.
The project steps include identification of digital technologies proposed for use in safety related systems and the expected normal and abnormal environments to which such advanced systems will be subjected, expenmental determination of an) unique vulnerabihties of di ital 1&C to effects result ng from environmental stress, and assessment of potential areas for f
enhancement in the qualification process through a review of existing guides and standards aad an investigation of the quahty control and certification approaches applied within the nuclear industry. This work is intended to provide the technical basis for the NRC to clarify or augment existmg regulatory guidance for enuronmental qualification to accommodate digital I&C systems.
Research in this project will also incorporate lessons learned from present day nuclear plant instrumentation aging studies. Fe example, past studies performed at ORNL as part of NRC's Nuclear plant Aging Research Program have ident;fied ten stressors that can lead to degradation of I&C components. These are: radiation, temperature, humidity / moisture, vibration and shock.
human interaction, process pressure, testing, electromagnetic interference, cycles of operation, and technological obsolescence.
Bis research project will identify new 1&C technologies proposed for advanced reactors and assess their abilities to proside reliable plant operation and protection in light of some of the above stressors. Methods to provide in-service inspection.
monitoring and diagnosis of degradation in 1&C performance will also be evalu;.ted. System studies will be performed to identify on line monitoring systems.

SUMMARY
OF PRIOR EFFORTS:
This project began late in FY 1991. As an initial step, several reactor and instrument vendors were surseyed to identify probable safety system configurations for ALWRs. A Letter Report, Proposed Use of Digital Technologyfor Advanced Light Water Reactor Designs, was prepared on the basis of informauon obtained during sendor sisits and subsequent discussions.
'Piat report, issued in September 1991, desenbed an example advanced digital safety channel based on information collected to that point. Applicable regulatory guides and industry standards were also acquired, and review of these documents took place durinF the course of this project.
Functional and environmental qualification issues for ALWR protection system components were documented by deseloping an environmental, functional, and aging data template for the protection channel of each current ALWR design. Using information provided by the reactor manufacturers, environmental conditions and stressors to which I&C equipment in reactor protection channels may be subjected were identified. The resulting data were compared to that denved from similar templates for instrument strinFs typically found in analog protection channels of present-day nuclear power plants. The templates developed under this project provide tools for evaluating a digital safety channel issues considered in the work include 1) the effects of environmental stressors (such as temperature, humidity, radiation, etc.), 2) methods of electrical isolation, and h distribution of intelligence in channel architecture.

Quahfication of Advanced I&C Systems The esaluation of qualification guidehnes led to the deselopment of a methodology for quahfying advaneeu i&C for use in benign environments in a power plant (e g., the control roomt The methodology prosides the framework for a systematic approach to detennining whether accelerated aging is necessary as part of type testing to qualify equipment for use in benign ensironments. The findings of the project to this point were presented in NUREG/CR 5904. Tunctional issues and Environmental Qualtficatwn of Digital Protection Sy steis of Ads anced lightMater Nuclear Reactors.
In FY 1994. the groundwork was laid for experimental determination of the susceptibihty of advanced technologies to malfunctions caused by environmental stress. An experimental digital safety channel (EDSC) design representative of those proposed for use in ALWRs was developed and assembly of a test system began. He test system proudes the capability to monitor the functional performance of the digital safety channel components under testing in emironmental chambers. The test system was completed in early 1995 and environmental susceptibility testing was conducted for temperature, humidity, electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RR), and smoke exposure. ne test results were analyzed and system.
level failure modes were determined. His work allows qualification testing approaches to be evaluated, acceptance critena to be assessed, advanced technology vulnerabilities to be identified and degradation mechanisms and failure modes to be ucicimined. Tne Gad.np of 61.. wh

Assessment of the impact of Smaic on Advanced /&C System Hardware in Nuclear Power Plants at Sandia National Laboratories was begun to form the technical basis for recommendations on en ironmental qualification guidance that addresses new digital technologies. These recommendations are being documented in NUREGICR 6479. Technical Basis for Emironmental Qualification of Alicroprocessor. Based SaferpRelated I& C Eqmpment in Nuclear Pou er Plants.
Dunng the course of this project, detailed hterature searches hase been conducted to identify presious relevant research related to environmental quahfication and the susceptibility of digital technologies to enuronmental stressor effects. Manufacturers of safety related l&C systems for nuclear power plants were interuewed to assess the cunent qualification practices of the industry and to solicit feedback on the clanty of regulatory guidance in this area. The US military and various non nuclear industries were contacted to investigate the existenee and asailabihty of performance / failure experience information for digital 1&C components. To gain a perspectise of world wide approaches to the subject of environmental qualification of I&C equipment, on site interuews were conducted with expen practitioners in Great Britain. France. and Germariy. The findings from these efforts ha$e been documented in letter reports and a DOE foreign trip repon.

Any software deselopment performtd under this program will adnere to the procedures specified in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory instrumentation and Controls Dnision Quahty Assurance Procedures (QA lC 19 Softwaret These pre;cdures are based on ANSI /IEEE Stds,730-198 l and 9831986 and on ANSI /AShlE NQA-l and NQA 2.

(A) Interpretations of Statement of Work - The :.sk numbenng in tu document is different from the Statement of Expected Work to maintain prior numbering schemes. Task 1. which ct
. project manaFement, was not directly identified in the Statement of Expected Work. The level of effort required fc. project management was estimated for T :. ' a.,3 is c hN

.nanagement task, the task designations gisen in the Statement of Expected Work are increased by one unit (e.g., Task 2 is Tmk 3 in this document, etc.).
The estimated lesel of effort for each task differs from the Statement of Expected Work because the estimated lesel of effort was subdnided into FY 1998 lesels and FY 1999 lesels teorrespondinF to cart)oser funds for the first quarter of FY 1999). Also, the estimated lesel of eff ort for FY 1998 meludes effort covered by carryoser funds from FY 1997.
Finally, the effort estimated for Task S is less than that estimated in the Statement of Expected Work because some funding has been designated for potential equipment purchases, as necessary, during the refurbishment of the experimental digital safety channel. The need for such purchases will depend on the amount of long-term corrosion damage resulting from previous smoke exposure and prior approval by the NRC Project hianager will be obtained for any purchases of equipment costing over $MG Project documentation in the form of NUREGICR-6479 is identified as a deliurable for Task 7 in FY 1998 to telleet the current status of the report, which has been delisered and is awaiting publication. This milestone was accomplished under FY 1997 cartyover funding.
Project documentation in the form of a paper for submission to the 1998 ' Water Reactor Safety information hiceting (WRSht) w as added by mutual consent as a deliverable for Task 8 m FY 1998, The funding for FY 1998 is sufficient to support the effort required to generate this paper.
An option for conserting the Task 9 deliserable from a letter report to a NUREG/CR can be exercised by mutual written agreement of the NRC project blanager and the ORNL Project Manager. Such a decision will depend on the significance of the findmgs from the experimentalinsestigation under that task and the availability of sufficient project funds to coser the additional documentation effort.
