Active Projects	Active P379 - Standard for Application of the Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Generating Station Safety Systems This standard covers the application of the single-failure criterion to the electrical power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear power generating station safety systems.
Existing Standards	Superseded IEEE 379-2000 - IEEE Standard Application of the Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Generating Station Safety Systems Application of the single-failure criterion to the electrical power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear power generating station safety systems is covered. Conformance with the requirements of IEEE Std 603-1991 and the single-failure criterion as stated in that document is established. Interpretation and guidance in the application of the single-failure criterion, a discussion of the failures, and an acceptable method of single-failure analysis are presented.
	Superseded IEEE 603-2009 - IEEE Standard Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations Minimum functional and design criteria for the power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear power generating station safety systems are established in this standard. The criteria are to be applied to those systems required to protect the public health and safety by functioning to mitigate the consequences of design basis events. The intent is to promote appropriate practices for design and evaluation of safety system performance and reliability. Although the standard is limited to safety systems, many of the principles may have applicability to equipment provided for safe shutdown, post accident monitoring display instrumentation, preventive interlock features, or any other systems, structures, or equipment related to safety.
