The HIPS takes advantage of the best of both analog and digital control systems by combining the long-proven analog safety channel approach used by nuclear protection systems today with the comprehensive diagnostic and self-testing capabilities of digital logic. The HIPS platform has been approved by the U.S. NRC for use in safety-related applications in U.S. nuclear power plants.
