Summary and evaluation of scoping and feasibility studies for disturbance analysis and surveillance systems (DASS)
Not Given Author · 1980
Disturbance Analysis and Surveillance Systems (DASS) are computer-based information systems which take in plant process and control data, process the data, and display results to the nuclear plant operating crew in a prioritized order of importance such that plant safety and availability are improved. Simultaneous and independent scoping and feasibility studies for a plant-wide DASS were performed by two design teams. The progress of each design team was guided by a technical advisory group (TAG) during a series of review and comment meetings which culminated in a critical evaluation of the results of both team designs. Descriptive summaries of the two design studies are presented along with introductory and background information on disturbance analysis. The review and evaluation process is described, and the results of the critical appraisal are highlighted according to key design factors identified by TAG.
