About This Item
P379/D2, May 2013 is a technical standard focused on failure criterion for nuclear power generating station safety systems. It addresses how safety-related equipment and components should be evaluated when determining whether a failure has occurred, helping support consistent engineering judgment in nuclear power and related power-energy applications. For designers, reviewers, and plant personnel, this standard can help align testing, analysis, and compliance decisions with a clear failure definition.
About P379/D2, May 2013
P379/D2, May 2013 provides guidance centered on failure criteria for safety systems used in nuclear power generating stations. In practice, that means it is concerned with how components, circuits, devices, and system functions are judged against expected safety performance. The document is relevant where clear technical boundaries are needed for assessment, qualification, and review. As an inactive standard, it is mainly of value for historical reference, legacy design files, and comparison with earlier engineering requirements.
Where is P379/D2, May 2013 used?
This standard is most relevant in nuclear plant safety engineering, especially where protection, monitoring, or control functions depend on dependable system behavior. It may be used during design review, equipment qualification, maintenance planning, or failure analysis for station safety systems. It is also useful when evaluating circuits, devices, and assemblies that support plant safety functions and when documenting how a component’s performance is judged against the applicable failure criterion.
Importance in practice
Clear failure criteria are essential in nuclear applications because they support consistent decisions about compliance, operability, and risk. P379/D2, May 2013 helps reduce ambiguity when assessing whether a safety system or related component has failed, which can influence testing outcomes, corrective action, and engineering records. Using a defined technical basis also supports procurement, review of legacy documentation, and comparison of equipment performance across similar safety-related applications.
