Application of computers for control and protection functions in research and power reactors
Description
This paper describes the application of Computer/Microcomputer based systems in Indian Reactors at present and in future. The concepts of fault tolerance, redundancy, isolation of control and safety functions, avoidance of error propagation, continuous monitoring and diagnostics are being followed in all configurations. Many standalone systems have been designed and installed for Research Reactors DHRUVA, KAMINI and 235 MWe PHWRs. Whereas for 235 MWe programme, the task has been to upgrade and modernize existing controls, the 500 MWe arena is mainly for developing new concepts. 6 figs, 2 tabs
