Best Practices in Nuclear Digital Controls: NUCLEAR REACTOR COMPLETES CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATION UPGRADE PROJECT

A Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant in the Eastern US, generating over 2,000 megawatts—enough to power 1.5 million homes—successfully completed a digital controls and instrumentation upgrade. Following a plant life extension, the facility needed a form, fit, and function replacement for its original control system. The new digital controls improved reliability and availability, thanks to extensive redundancy in wiring, instrumentation, computers, sensors, power supplies, and other electronics, ensuring enhanced operational safety and performance.
