title = "Challenges in risk-informed safety management (CHARISMA): Reliability analysis of digital I&C systems in nuclear power plants",
abstract = "Assessing the reliability of digital I&C systems is an important but challenging task. Traditional tools of reliability and risk analysis, such as event and fault trees, have limitations. Some dynamic reliability analysis methods, such as dynamic flowgraph methodology (DFM) and Markov models may provide a solution to analyse digital I&C systems of nuclear power plants, such as feedwater control system. Here we will consider DFM. For safety systems (such as reactor protection system) dynamic reliability analysis methods may not be needed.",
