  • Abstract
    This paper describes an application of multiplexing and system self-testing to the rod control and status-monitoring system of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). The approach uses modularity at the field sensors with minimum interconnecting cables to the control room. The coding of the signal words employs error-detecting techniques to improve system reliability and availability. Fault diagnostics and identification improve the maintainability of the system.
