[en] The AUTOS '85 national conference on automation in engineering was held in Plzen on June 18 - 21, 1985. The conference was oriented to power generation and power engineering. Of the total number of 110 papers presented at the conference, 49 were incorporated in INIS. These papers may be divided into the following areas: problems of the diagnostic systems of nuclear power plants (in-service and noise diagnostics), evaluation and testing of the reliability of nuclear power installations, neutron instrumentation of reactors, computer-aided design of cable systems and the control of steam generator supply, analysis of accident situations caused by changes in reactivity or by faulty function of components together with analysis of nuclear power plant hazards, and the role of nuclear power plants in the power supply system with regard to economy, safety and environmental control.
