A Study About Configuration Management Process for Safety DCS Software V&V in Nuclear Power Plant

Software verification and validation (V&V) is the key technology to improve the quality of software in nuclear power plant and ensure the safe operation of DCS. The configuration management (CM) is an important mean to standardize the software V&V process and improve the efficiency and quality of the software V&V. However, in the current configuration management process for safety DCS software V&V in nuclear power plant, the baseline management of input files has some deficiencies. The paper proposes a method for input file baseline management through research standards and combined practical experience, which can provide reference for the CM in subsequent software V&V project.
