In spite of wide expansion of digital systems for NPP control, information about realistic operating reliability measures of these systems is still lacking. The paper is a continuation of report [1] and contains results of analysis of operating reliability of digital control systems used in Ukrainian nuclear power plants. This paper contains: - reliability measures of digital instrumentation and control systems of first generation (designed in 1979–1983); - reliability measures of digital reactor control systems of second generation (designed after 2000) including reasons of failures; - analysis of the reasons of NPP violations due to digital instrumentation and control systems.
