T1 Test Bench Design Based on LabVIEW for Daya Bay Nuclear Plant

The reactor protection system is one of the most important safety systems in nuclear plant. In order to ensure the availability of the system, and according to the requirements of nuclear safety regulations, it is necessary to conduct regular tests on the system's functions in order to timely detect potential faults within the system. And the aging and reduced reliability of the test bench at Daya Bay Nuclear plant have affected the safety of the nuclear plant. In this paper, T1 test bench is designed based on LabVIEW, including hardware and software design. And the T1 test bench have operated in Daya Bay nuclear plant more than one year demonstrated that this new tester meets the expected requirement.
