Risk monitor, which has been widely used in the progress of RID (Risk Informed Decision) in a NPP (Nuclear Power Plant), is a plant specific real-time analysis tool to determine the instantaneous risk based on actual plant configuration. Based on wide investigation of challenges and technical issues during the development of a risk monitor, a prototype named Risk Angel has been designed by FDS Team in collaboration with several institutes and universities. An overview of the architecture and main functions of Risk Angel were introduced in this paper, as well as the quantitative approach, the calculating engine and the model development. Risk Angel has been applied in a nuclear power plant in P.R. China.
