Abstract :
A new microprocessor-based fault-tolerant nuclear turbine governor has been developed. Hierarchically distributed configuration and asynchronous triplicated architecture with middle value voting logic maximizes the plant availability. Problem-oriented language is provided for design ease and program maintenability. The turbine governor with these features is described with test results.
