Method and System for Intelligent Monitoring of State of Nuclear Power Plant

A method and a system for monitoring a state of a nuclear power plant capable of reducing a state prediction error of a sensor during startup, full power, shut down operation of a nuclear power plant, and of providing an early warning, without an error alarm includes remotely and automatically diagnosing the state of a sensor, device, system and power plant. The method and comprises: a first layer that compares a sensor measurement value and a device measurement value with predicted values so as to detect anomalies of the sensor and the device; a second layer that classifies a type of the sensor and diagnoses the presence or absence of an anomaly of the sensor on the basis of an anomaly value of the sensor provided from the first layer.

DISTRIBUTED MODULAR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LAYOUT ARCHITECTURE

A nuclear power plant includes a nuclear structure, a frontline support equipment, and a support structure. The nuclear structure includes, and is configured to protect from incurring damage due to a damaging event, at least one of a nuclear reactor or a nuclear fuel storage. The frontline support equipment is configured to perform a fundamental safety function. The support structure is spatially separate from the nuclear structure and includes an initiating support equipment configured to trigger the frontline support equipment to perform the fundamental safety function such that the fundamental safety function is performed independently of the initiating support equipment subsequent to the triggering. The support structure may be a non-protected structure that is not configured to protect the initiating support equipment from incurring damage due to the damaging event.
