Title
A formal software requirements specification method for digital nuclear plant protection systems
Abstract
This article describes NuSCR, a formal software requirements specification method for digital plant protection system in nuclear power plants. NuSCR improves the readability and specifiability by providing graphical or tabular notations depending on the type of operations. NuSCR specifications can be formally analyzed for completeness, consistency, and against the properties specified in temporal logic. We introduce the syntax and semantics of NuSCR and demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach using reactor protection system, digital protection system being developed in Korea, as a case study.
