Nuclear reactor protection systems and methods

A method of operating a nuclear reactor protection system, the method comprising:

• using a first logic circuit, determining a first safety determination associated with an estimated condition of a nuclear reactor or a portion thereof, the first logic circuit receiving input from a first set of sensors wherein the first logic circuit comprises a combination of a fist digital module and a first analog module and wherein the first analog module is configured to override operations of the first digital module;
• using a second logic circuit that is diverse from the first logic, determining a second safety determination, the second logic circuit receiving input from a second set of sensors that is separate from the first set of sensors;
• wherein the second safety determination is redundantly associated with the estimated condition and separate from the first safety determination;
• using a predetermined hardware configuration of a first display converter circuit to provide driver functionalities for displaying the first safety determination or a processing result thereof on one or more directly connected display panels;
• and
• using a predetermined hardware configuration of a second display converter circuit to provide driver functionalities for displaying the second safety determination on the one or more directly connected display panels, wherein the first and second converter circuits have differences that preserve one or more forms of diversity in processing the first and second safety determinations.
