Point Lepreau Refurbishment Project Programmable Digital Comparator (PDC) Replacement for SDS1 and SDS2 - Update 2 Software Development and Review and Validation Test Rig Development

Abstract

As part of the Point Lepreau Refurbishment Project the Programmable Digital Comparators (PDCs) for both shutdown systems are being replaced. This paper describes the progress made on the PDC replacement since the update one year ago. The project has completed the software requirements and design and these have been subject to formal reviews. At the time of presentation of this paper, the contracts will have been placed for the supply of hardware for both SDS1 and SDS2 computer systems. CNSC interaction and the planned future work are also discussed. The upfront development progress on validation tools is also presented.
