Cernavoda CANDU 600 NPP - Latest in House Improvements of Main Control Room Functionality Based on Computerized Applications

Abstract

As part of Romania program to adhere at European Union, SNN started the construction of a new Emergency Control Center. It is designed to act as a site coordination center in case of nuclear accident. The communication and information channels requirements of such facility are supplemented with an electronic display for a number of critical process parameters which should briefly characterize the nuclear reactor status during the accident. The authors designed, developed and deployed the system for Cernavoda NPP. After implementation the system started to be evaluated in idea to be used also as an important operator tool in Main Control Room of the plant and also to be replicated in other national level emergency centers. Implementation effort was helped by the Plant Information system previously deployed in MCR.
