Abstract
The instrument channel uncertainty is related to the safety and economic performance of nuclear power plants. In this paper, two kinds of uncertainty calculation methods which commonly used in the industry are summarized. The Monte Carlo Method is proposed to calculate the uncertainty of instrument channel in nuclear power plant. Three methods are utilized respectively to calculate the uncertainties of a simplified model that abstracted from safety DCS analog input channel. The results indicate that when the channel model contains abnormal distribution factors, the Monte Carlo method will be more effective than traditional methods.
