APCS in nuclear power plants are sophisticated, safety-critical digital networks that monitor thousands of sensors -- tracking temperature, pressure, and flow rates -- to automatically manage reactor operations and ensure safety, he added.

The system will monitor equipment performance, electricity generation, and technological processes during both commissioning and operational phases of the power unit.

“Currently, all the automated process control equipment for the first power unit of the Rooppur NPP has been delivered and commissioned at the construction site,” said Gleb Murashov, managing director of Automated Process Control System Division at RASU.

“We have implemented several improvements as part of the project. For example, the automated radiation monitoring systems have been implemented in a compact, bench-type design, a first for this type,” he added.

The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is being constructed with Russian technology and will consist of two VVER-1200 reactors with a combined capacity of 2,400 megawatts.

The Generation III+ reactor design complies with international safety standards.

Fuel loading began at the unit-1 on April 28, taking the project into operational stage.
