Russia’s Rosatom nuclear energy corporation has completed the delivery and installation of the full automated process control system (APCS) for the first power unit of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant.

“This is another milestone in Bangladesh’s first nuclear power project,” Rosatom said in a press release yesterday.

The system was supplied by Rosatom Automated Control Systems (RASU).

The delivery included 22 subsystems covering automated process control and radiation monitoring for unit-1, which features a VVER-1200 reactor.

Saikat Ahmed, media focal point officer of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, said the systems act as the plant’s “brain”, using operational and safety controllers to adjust valves and pumps instantly, keeping the plant within safe operating envelopes.
