Abstract
The reliability of computer-based systems implementing safety functions is a critical
issue for the modernization and construction of nuclear power plants, in particular because
software can usually not be proven to be entirely free of defects. The differences in regulation and
safety justification principles between different countries restrict efficient co-operation and hinder
the emergence of widely accepted best practices. This paper gives an introduction to an EU FP7
project HARMONICS (Harmonised Assessment of Reliability of Modern Nuclear I&C Software,
2011-2014) which has an overall objective to ensure that the nuclear industry has well founded and
up-to-date methods and data for assessing software of computer-based safety systems.
