Abstract :
This paper focuses on the random hardware failures necessary for the safety assessment of the reactor protection system (RPS). A prediction method of the hardware failure rate for safety assessment is suggested, and applied to the safety grade programmable logic controller (PLC) to identify design weak points from a safety point of view
