Abstract
The safety of commercial nuclear power plants is of importance to designers, builders and operators of such large and complex plants. The emphasis on safety has led to the requirement for highly reliable fail-safe systems for their control and protection. The authors describe one such system, the individual sub-assembly temperature monitoring system (ISAT) which is being developed for the commercial demonstration fast reactor (CDFR). The system incorporates recent advances in solid-state electronics and in particular microprocessors to implement time-shared data acquisition techniques to obtain and process data from around 1400 fast response thermocouples whilst meeting the required levels for reliability and availability.
