Kolesov, S., et al. (2000). Safety parameters
display system (SPDS) for Ukrainian NPP with
WWER-1000 reactor type. In Proceedings of
International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Plant
Instrumentation, Controls, and Human-Machine
Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2000).

SPDS were implemented at all Ukrainian NPPs.
Implementation of SPDS at Ukrainian NPPs has
been realized jointly by the USA and Ukrainian
companies according to intergovernmental agree-
ment.
Purpose of SPDS as system for personnel
information support and importance of SPDS for
unit safety assurance are considered in this chapter.
Peculiarities of presentation of information about
technological process and state of unit safety func-
tions (according to US NRC, 1981), structure of
SPDS hardware and software are described.
SPDS project is a good example of cooperative
activity of the US companies (“Westinghouse,”
“Burns and Roe,” US DOE) and Ukrainian NPPs,
design organizations, regulatory authority and
technical support organization (State Scientific
and Technical Centre for Nuclear and Radiation
Safety). Interaction between these organizations
is described in this chapter as well.
