ABSTRACT:
A protective control system and method for a nuclear steam supply system for the protection against the violation of safety design limits, the system comprising the combination of two sub-systems. The first sub-system includes a method or system for a continuous calculation of an operating limit which incorporates a margin that allows sufficient time for the initiation and completion of corrective action without the violation of a design limit. The second sub-system includes a method or system for continuously predicting a pending violation of a design limit far enough in advance to allow the initiation and completion of corrective action. The combination of the two systems not only allows operation of the nuclear steam supply system with the assurance of a sufficient margin to take protective action on the occurrence of an accident but also assures that actual protective action is in fact instituted in sufficient time to avoid the violation of a design limit.
