Olkiluoto 3: Progress status
Electonic, instrumentation, control and simulation
In the field of nuclear naval propulsion, teams from the Propulsion and research reactors Business Unit have acquired an understanding of instrumentation, control, robust and highly reliable equipment, simulation and modeling. For over 20 years, they have successfully applied this expertise to civilian nuclear power, industry and urban and suburban transport.
Solutions for system and equipment manufacturers
Propulsion and research reactors Business Unit implements instrumentation and control solutions and measures designed to meet the highest requirements and capable of operating in extremely restrictive environments: shocks, vibrations, speed and load variations, compactness, stealth, variations in environmental parameters, etc.
These systems and equipment are based on these solutions:
- Wireless transmission and radio communication
- Data acquisition and processing
- Operating parameter recorders
- Land and onboard instrumentation and control
- Acoustic and vibratory analysis and physical chemistry
- Condition-based
Related requirements
The Propulsion and research reactors Business Unit also possesses expertise in simulation tools designed for operations, conduct and training in the fields of energy and transport.
Examples of applications
- Design, construction and installation of acoustic discretion systems for naval nuclear propulsion programs (01dB-Metravib)
