RIAR automated research and management systems

General principles of designing, status and prospects for the automated research and management systems at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors are presented. Urgency of complex investigations carried out in the institute assuring acquisition, processing and holding of the data to prove key concepts of design approaches to newly built commercial NPPs is stressed. Description of automated research systems in three main scientific directions: in reactor materials technology, radiochemistry and chemical technology, nuclear reactor physics and technology, is presented. Status and prospects for the automated management system that is under the development in the Institute and comprises main functional and specialized subsystems are considered
