Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
This nuclear industry safety system digital upgrade project addresses the need to achieve progress in modernizing current plants to ensure their long-term economic viability through successful demonstration of a major safety instrumentation and control (I&C) system upgrade.
The project will design and procure a safety I&C system upgrade, integrating all required design basis functions with new labor-reduction features that substantially reduce operating and maintenance costs. Additionally, it will develop a licensing strategy and demonstrate the use of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) newly revised digital I&C interim staff guidance #06 (ISG-06), Revision 2 for safety I&C systems.
Furthermore, the project aims to install and commission the safety I&C system in an operating nuclear plant.
