BS IEC 63147 is a safety standard that aims to maintain integrity of nuclear power generating stations for efficient and timely implementation of risk mitigation measures.
BS IEC 63147 specifies the functional and design criteria for accident monitoring instrumentation for new plant designs and nuclear power generating stations desiring to perform design modifications.
BS IEC 63147 does not apply to the following:
BS IEC 63147 on nuclear power generating stations is useful to:
A nuclear power plant (NPP) has a large number of components and equipment, which are all coordinated by instrumentation systems. As a result, the safety of nuclear power plant instrumentation is important for support and reliable power generation through controlling plant processes.
The purpose of BS IEC 63147 is to establish selection, design, performance, qualification, and display criteria for accident monitoring instrumentation for anticipated operational occurrences, design basis events, and severe accidents.
BS IEC 63147 applies to accident monitoring instrumentation intended for use during the following operations:
With BS IEC 63147 you can adopt best industry requirements to ensure appropriate levels of safety, security, environmental, health, and interference protection, while meeting applicable laws and regulations.
