THIRD PHASE OF INFORMATION AND MEASURING SYSTEM MODERNIZATION OF IVG.1M RESEARCH REACTOR

Abstract

From 2010 through the present Institute of Atomic Energy Branch of the RSE National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IAE Branch) performs the activity for modernization of information and measuring system (IMS) of the IVG.1m Research Reactor. Within the first two phases from 2012 to 2017, modernization of automatic control system (ACS), control and protection system (CPS) and instrumentation and automated control system (I&C) of IMS system have been carried out. Equipment, software and materials have been purchased. Algorithms for data processing from primary converters and information screens for remote control operators have been developed. The equipment was installed and commissioning was performed. In 2018, within the technical cooperation project between the IAEA and the Republic of Kazakhstan, the third phase of modernization is being carried out, under which it is planned to modernize the IMS for cell sealing control (CSC) and IMS for dosimetry control (DC). Based on result of this work, the process of control, registration and displaying of experimental information of CSC and DC systems will be improved.
