Instrumentation and Control Systems for Nuclear Power Plants provides the latest innovative research on
the design of effective modern I&C systems for both existing and newly commissioned plants, along with
information on system implementation. Dr. Cappelli and his team of expert contributors cover fundamentals,
explore the most advanced research in control systems technology, and tackle topics such as the human-
machine interface, control room redesign, and control modeling. The inclusion of codes and standards,
inspection procedures, and regulatory issues ensure that the reader can confidently design their own I&C
systems and integrate them into existing nuclear sites and projects.

Zielgruppe

Graduate students of nuclear engineering; Engineers with an MA/PhD in another conventional engineering discipline; electrical and electronic engineers with specialities in nuclear industry; practitioners in industry involved in nuclear system design; existing I&C professionals and specialists; Researchers requiring information on any one of the key topics discussed; National and International regulatory and standards bodies.
