The systems which perform the vitai functions of monitoring and controlling systems and parameters at nuclear power plants are known as instrumentation and control (I&C) systems*. They are divided into two types: information systems and control systems. Both types operate by providing signals from measuring equipment. Information systems monitor plant parameters and systems; they display and…
Energy resource is an essential prerequisite for realizing the strategic objectives of the national economic development in China. By the end of this century the objectives of the national economic development are as fellows: the national annual gross value of industrial and agricultural output will be quadrupled as that in 1980; the annual average revenue per capita is expected to be 800-1000 …
The intensive funding of research in the field of nuclear reactor safety research by the German Federal Government in the last decades was a decisive contribution to keeping German reactors among the safest in the world. Considerable progress has also been made in the field of repository research which is regarded as being leading on an international scale. These achievements were made possible…
Establishes a layout for standard methods of analysis of solutions in the visible and near ultra-violet regions. Gives some recommendations for their presentation and wording. The layout is preceded by a clause "Therminology and definitions", which supplements the information given in ISO 6286.
Identifies the typical parameters of a component that permit it to be characterized unequivocally and to allow the corresponding reliability data to be associated with those of other components having equivalent typical parameters. Parameters refer to technical characteristics including the physical principle of operation and quality level and to actual operating conditions and maintenance and …
