Design and Implementation of Digital I&C Systems in Nuclear Power Plants

Design and Implementation of Digital I&C Systems in Nuclear Power Plants presents a comprehensive and practical guide for engineers and researchers in nuclear utilities. Author Steve Yang covers fundamental theory and proven practices which reflect the rapid changes in the last 10 years in both market and technology. This book promotes safety and reliability in nuclear power plants to help facilitate faster adaption of safety cultures. Design approaches and digital I&C processes are illustrated by practical cases to enhance understanding and enable the reader to apply the processes across both new build and upgrade projects. This is a very valuable reference for a range of nuclear professionals, including digital I&C engineers, system engineers, component designers, verification and validation engineers, operators and regulators. It provides an understanding of I&C platform architectures to promote a better understanding of customer need and provide optimal design and implementation solutions. It addresses daily challenges of designers and component engineers, as well as those of the V&V engineers required to have a deep understanding of domain knowledge.
