Special Features of a Computer-Based German Reactor Protection System

  • Conference paper
Fault-Tolerant Computing Systems

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 283))

Summary

The international scenario and the requirements formulated for a German digital reactor protection system are described in the following. The hardware structure of the distributed multicomputer system and particular aspects resulting from the use of computers are discussed. In view of the multitude of factors influencing the design of such a system, this presentation can give no more than a general outline.
