  • 1. CGEE ALSTHOM, 92 - Levallois (France)

Description

Technological progress in the field of microelectronics has led to the development of an automatic control device, the ''controbloc'', for operating and controlling nuclear power plants. The ''controbloc'' will be used in automatic systems with a high degree of safety and versatility and is now being installed in the first of the new generation 1,300 MW power stations. The main characteristics of the device and the evaluation tests which have been carried out are described

Abstract (French)

L'evaluation de la technologie dans le domaine de la microelectronique a conduit au developpement d'un produit d'automatisme, le CONTROBLOC, dans le cadre du controle-commande des centrales nucleaires. Destine a la realisation d'automatismes a haut niveau de securite et de disponibilite, le CONTROBLOC et en cours de mise en service sur les premieres tranches du palier 1300 MWe. On decrit les principales caracteristiques et les essais d'evaluation
