Technical Means of Lower-Level Equipment of the Hindukush-F In-Reactor Monitoring System for NPP with VVER-1200

Abstract

The functions, structure, and basic characteristics of the Hindukush-F equipment as part of the in-reactor monitoring system of NPP with VVER-1200 reactor are described. An analysis of the technical solutions used in the design is presented from the standpoint of the modern safety requirements of the equipment of this class and information on currently operating plants and plants under construction where this equipment is used is presented. It is concluded that the subsequent development of the in-reactor monitoring system is driven by increasing informatization and requires the use of modern computer technology and means of automation but the safety requirements must also be taken into account.
