Design of the Instrumentation and Control for the ITER Tokamak Cooling System

摘要

The design strategy for TCWS I&C system is similar to the strategy/guidelines of conventional nuclear power plants. Independence, communication pathways, sharing of sensors, qualification of hardware/software, risk goals, etc. are all important aspects considered in the design. Finally, while qualification standards provide similar guidance in both technologies (e.g., IEEE 323 and IEC 60780), the radiation profile and magnetic field environments are different.
