Reliability of Class A Modules Achieved with
FPGA (statistical data)
www.systematom.ru
Statistical data are based on more
that 200 million (FPGA * hours)
operation since November 1999 till
January 2008 at 25 NPP Units
 MTBF is about 200 million hours
 -40°С < t envir. < +85С
 Power supply = 3.3 V

New Software Platform Development
Pilot version of new software platform for data visualization and control in
calculation codes, upper level of PCS, simulators and was created at JSC
“SNIIP” and demonstrated to potential Customers.
The platform is developed on the base of Qt4 complex working environment,
which is meant to design application software independent from operating
systems.
The first implementation of new platform is planned for radiation monitoring
system of Kalinin-4.

Further Development of HMI at Leningrad
NPP Training Center
 Modeling complex
developed under TASIC
Project is still broadly used
for HMI development
 In 2008 Institute of Atomic
Power (Obninsk) and JSC
“SNIIP” organized joint
laboratory on HMI research.
 The lab is headed by Prof.
A. Anokhin, he presented
main results at HMIT&NPIC2009 conference
 We are open for
international cooperation

Development of e-learning Tools for I&C
Operating and Maintenance Staff
Development of elearning tools for I&C
systems users was
based on the survey
of available COTS
(QNX Photon, Course
Lab, etc.), conducted
in 2008-2009.
 The work was done
firstly for reactor
monitoring, control
and diagnostic
system called SKUD
(includes in-core,
vibration, loose part,
primary circuit
leakages monitoring)
