This book was released on 2014 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliable instrumentation, information, and control (II & C) systems technologies are essential to ensuring safe and efficient operation of the U.S. light water reactor (LWR) fleet. These technologies affect every aspect of nuclear power plant (NPP) and balance-of-plant operations. In 1997, the National Research Council conducted a study concerning the challenges involved in modernization of digital instrumentation and control systems in NPPs. Their findings identified the need for new II & C technology integration.
