Development of Virtual Simulation, Data Logging and Supervisory Control System (DLSC) for Laboratory Scale of Mini Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP)

The Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) type TRIGA Mark II was installed in the year 1982. The scope for this research paper is to produce a detail design for development of Virtual Simulation, Data Logging and Supervisory Control System (DLSC) for Laboratory Scale of Mini Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP). The purpose of this project is to develop a Laboratory Scale of Mini Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) which consists of cooling system, Data Logging and Supervisory Control system (DLSC), and Operator Workstation (OWS) for education and training in reactor engineering. Initial research, Automated Controller System for Controlling Reactivity (ACSCR) was developed in Science Fund project (03-03-01-SF0159) entitled Development of Automated Controller System for Controlling Reactivity by using Field Programmable Gate Array (FGGA) in Research Reactor Application and Radiation Facility. The ACSCR is developed to control the movement of the control rods by new algorithm movement method. The Data Acquisition and Control System (DACS) of ACSCR is setup and installed by using FPGA/Real-Time Controller. The software development in this ACSCR is programmed using LabVIEW which consist of simulation and control program. This mini reactor project will extended and integrate the developed ACSCR include DACS with cooling system and OWS. The development of this Laboratory Scale of Mini Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) is part of facility for centre of excellence program in reactor technology. (author)
