Recent operating experience in nuclear power plants has shown that there is a safety concern associated with the use of new industrial devices, including digital devices, in safety power systems in both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) systems.

The Working Group on Electrical Power Systems (WGELEC) held a joint NEA-International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) technical meeting, including participants from outside the NEA membership to collect wider views and information. The results of the survey and the deliverables from the technical meeting were summarised into this report.
