1. A protection system for a nuclear boiling water reactor, the protection system comprising:

  • a device configured to monitor reactor power;

    a device configured to monitor reactor pressure;

    a device configured to determine a power-dependent high reactor pressure setpoint, based on the monitored reactor power; and

    a device configured to initiate a protection system action when the monitored reactor pressure is greater than the power-dependent high reactor pressure setpoint;

    wherein the power-dependent high reactor pressure setpoint that corresponds to at least one value of percent power in an operating domain of the reactor is less than the power-dependent high reactor pressure setpoint that corresponds to 100% reactor power.
