A High‑load Distributed Control System for a Modern Nuclear Power Plant
summary
A new distributed control platform for modern nuclear power plants is described, including hard real-time coordination of over 150 specialized subsystems that manage processes such as a >1000 MW reactor and a >2000-ton turbine. The system handles more than 100,000 sensor inputs and up to 500,000 computed parameters across five classes of physical processes (neutron kinetics, hydrodynamics, chemistry and radiochemistry, and strength physics).
