3、Achievements   and hightlights

The Division publishes   about 20 academic papers every year.

Research Highlights

(1）I&C   and its digitalization

1960s, the shielding test   reactor, I&C system with analog technology;

1970s, No. 820 Project,   closed-loop reactor power regulator by self-built computer, the first case in   China;

1980s, NHR-5, I&C   system based on digital and analog hybrid technology, the first case in   China;

1990s, HTR-10, fully   digital I&C system, the first case in China;

2010s, HTR-PM Demo   project, fully digital I&C system supporting "two reactor modules   with one turbine".

  (2) Multi-modular HTGR coordinated operation control technology

A lot of pioneering work   has been carried out in the fields of modeling, control, simulation and   verification for multi-module HTGR nuclear power plant. The coordinated   operation control of "two reactor modules with one turbine" for   HTR-PM Demo has been successfully adopted.
