Abstract
Obsolescence presents great challenge to nuclear power plants (NPP) and plant simulators around the world. Old designs will have to be modified or replaced by new designs, in order to simplify maintenance, increase availability and meet ever-increasing operational and training requirements. Control system upgrade and distributed control system (DCS) design for both old plants and new builds have become the center of interest. This paper describes a new Ethernet bus interface controller (eBIC) used in the input/output (I/O) system of a nuclear power plant (NPP) simulator in Canada. The reliability of the eBIC is evaluated, and compared with the reliability of the existing bus interface controller (BIC). It is shown that the predicted failure rate of the new eBIC is five times lower than that of the existing system. This raises the level of confidence in the new design. The reasons for this improvement are also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
