1. Instrumentation and control in the rugged construction industry

The description of instrumentation and control systems for nuclear facilities in this section cannot be exhaustive, given the wide variety of measurement and control operations involved. As many of the topics associated with this theme are already covered in the Electronics and Industrial Computing treatises, only the aspects specific to the nuclear industry are dealt with in this section. The specificities are also at the level of design and operating principles and rules. They are therefore covered in general articles entitled Reactor and plant control: general architecture. , Operating procedures and man-machine interface , Qualification of programmed systems in power plants . The specific features also apply to the particular measurements carried out in nuclear facilities. These are mainly measurements of neutron and gamma radiation....
