Functions of automated production control system at Temelin nuclear power plant

The automated control system for the Temelin nuclear power plant is being built up based on the principal requirements as follows: possibility of modular expansion, compatibility of the equipment, possibility of operation in the local as well as public network, and possibility of employing computer structures with different configurations. The functions of the control system are described in detail; these concern the technological process control level, the whole-plant production control level, the radiological safety field, control of the nuclear power plant chemistry, control and evaluation of the power plant production, and management of the basic equipment.
