  • More about Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems for New and Existing Research Reactors

The IAEA supports Member States in utilizing good engineering and management practices to improve research reactor reliability and availability. This publication provides engineering guidance on the design, operational aspects, and digital I&C systems for refurbishing existing facilities and new research reactors. Key areas addressed include codes and standards applicability, licensing issues, change in human-system interface, software verification and validation, periodic testing and inspection, and configuration management. The publication contains technical descriptions and summaries of available digital systems used in both new research reactor designs and upgrading older analogue safety and control systems.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plays a crucial role in the field of research reactor operation and maintenance by empowering Member States to employ best engineering and management practices to enhance the reliability and availability of research reactors. In particular, the IAEA provides support for activities focused on managing the aging of research reactor instrumentation and control (I&C) systems. The primary objective of this publication is to offer valuable engineering guidance on the design, operational aspects, and refurbishment of existing facilities as well as the construction of new research reactors. Key areas covered in this publication include the application of codes and standards, licensing considerations, transitioning from analog to digital technology, software verification and validation efforts, periodic testing and inspection, and configuration management. The publication includes detailed technical descriptions and summaries of available digital systems that have been successfully implemented in both new research reactor designs and the modernization of older analogue safety and control systems. This guidance is intended to cater to the diverse range of research reactor types currently in operation worldwide. By leveraging the expertise and resources of the IAEA, Member States can improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their research reactor programs.
