ABSTRACT
Systems
used
in
nuclear
applications
must
be
developed
to
an
appropriate
degree
of
engineering
rigour
to
meet
safety
objectives
while
remaining
economically
feasible.
AECL
Systems
Engineering
has
developed
methods
to
select
the
appropriate
standard,
and
the
associated
software
development
and
V&V
processes
to
meet
them.
Every
project
undertaken
by
our
group
has
provided
interesting
challenges
and
opportunities
to
learn.
In
this
presentation
we
share
our
experience
of
several
major
projects:
- real-time plant display software systems for CANDU and PWR reactors,
- R&D experimental rigs,
- and NRU data collection system as examples.
