Description & Coverage
Description:

Accidents and natural disasters involving nuclear power plants such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the recent meltdown at Fukushima are rare, but their effects are devastating enough to warrant increased vigilance in addressing safety concerns.

Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems for Safety and Security evaluates the risks inherent to nuclear power and methods of preventing accidents through computer control systems and other such emerging technologies. Students and scholars as well as operators and designers will find useful insight into the latest security technologies with the potential to make the future of nuclear energy clean, safe, and reliable.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Cyber Security
  • Emergency Systems
  • General Architecture
  • Instrumentation and Control Systems
  • International Standards
  • Multi-Version Technologies
  • Power Grid Resilience
  • Preventative Measures
  • Safety Requirements
  • System Modernization
Reviews & Statements

Yastrebenetsky and Kharchenko present this volume on nuclear power plant safety, discussing updates in technology and particularly computer control systems. The first chapter establishes definitions and gives general information on instrumentation and control (I&C) systems. International safety standards and quantitative and qualitative properties of safety important I&C systems are discussed, followed by field programmable gate array technology, software of computerized systems, and diversity strategies for ensuring adequate redundancy.
