Abstract
The paper considers the aspects of applicability of programmable control systems for nuclear power plants. The advantages and disadvantages of these systems have been identified. The main disadvantages of these systems have been singled out as follows: impossibility to prove the parameters of dependability of implemented control functions, susceptibility to potential cyber attacks. The paper offers the method of selecting automation means for implementing control systems using programmable and non-programmable automation means based on making a functional analysis of a nuclear power plant’s control systems.
