  1. Core Knowledge onInstrumentation and Control Systems in Nuclear Power Plants IAEA Nuclear Energy Series D-NP-T-3.12

  2. Objectives • The objectives of this document are to • present a basic overview of I&C systems, • a guide to IAEA and related literature on the subject, and • an explanation of the significant role I&C systems have in maintaining and improving safety, plant performance, and economic returns of nuclear power plants. • Numerous IAEA publications have been prepared to address these issues and this document intends to place those technical documents within the context of a global view of NPP I&C systems and their lifecycles. • Moreover, relevant documents related to the I&C area but published by organizations other than the IAEA are listed and referenced in this report to provide a comprehensive guidance for the reader.
