IEEE 497-2010

This standard contains the functional and design criteria for accident monitoring instrumentation for nuclear power generating stations. This standard is intended for new plant designs and for operating nuclear power generating stations desiring to perform design modifications.

The purpose of this standard is to establish selection, design, performance, qualification and display criteria for accident monitoring instrumentation. It provides guidance on the use of portable instrumentation and examples of accident monitoring display configurations.

Revision Standard - Superseded. Criteria are established in this standard for variable selection, performance, design, and qualification of accident monitoring instrumentation, and include requirements for display alternatives for accident monitoring instrumentation, documentation of design bases, and use of portable instrumentation.
