This report contains guidance on the design and |
|
development of reliable software for digital safety |
|
systems of nuclear power plants (Class 1E systems). The |
|
technology is dual-use in that both the nuclear and |
|
defense communities will benefit from it. Four major |
|
topics are addressed: (1) Computer Programming Languages - |
|
C, C++, Ada and PL/M-86 were examined for applicability |
|
to high integrity safety systems; (2) Software Design and |
|
Development - Design and development process models, |
|
applicable standards, and Computer-Aided Software |
|
Engineering (CASE) tool usage for Class 1E systems |
|
development were identified; (3) Software Testing - This |
|
section addresses software test strategies and |
|
termination criteria for Class 1E systems; and (4) Fault |
|
Tolerance and Fault Avoidance techniques for developing |
|
highly reliable Class 1E system software are identified. |
|
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will use this |
|
development as a stepping stone leading to a draft |
|
nuclear regulatory guidance document. The DoD benefits by |
|
furthering research in software practices for high |
|
integrity systems. |
