A Brief Review of Nuclear Electronics Standards Past, Present and Future

Modular Nuclear Instrument Standards have played a key role in U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories and similar scientific laboratories worldwide for more than three decades. The scientific and engineering efficiency and economic benefits have been well documented. Standards are constantly evolving with the introduction of new technologies and the present is a time of rapid change. This paper gives a brief overview of past developments and attempts to identify areas of possible opportunities for renewed standardization efforts to meet future challenges
