Description

Siemens/KWU has developed a sophisticated set of stand-alone monitoring and detection systems, based on the latest microprocessor technology. The Series '86 comprises systems for fatigue monitoring (FAMOS), loose parts detection (KUS), leak location (ALUS), and vibration monitoring (SUS) on the primary circuits of PWRs and BWRs. The objectives behind the development of these new sytems are both safety-related and economic. The functions of the monitoring system include acquisition, processing, storage and documentation of the necessary data and also provision of the other aids required for quick and reliable analysis.
