The system was installed by Areva at the units 3 and 4 of the Ling Ao nuclear power plant in China.

Since the reactors 3 and 4 have been connected to the electrical grid in September 2010 and August 2011 respectively, the Teleperm XS I&C system on the facility had been operating flawlessly.

The Teleperm XS safety system has been designed for nuclear I&C applications which require the highest level of safety guarantees.

Currently being supplied to or is currently being installed at 81 reactors in 16 countries, the technology can be used in various applications in nuclear power plants such as reactor protection, control and limitation, neutron flow measurement, core monitoring, control-rod position control and monitoring, and emergency diesel generator safety control.

Areva Reactors and Services Business Group deputy senior executive vice president Jacques Mulbert said: "The formal acceptance confirms our ability to successfully manage complex projects from start to finish, meeting the expectations of our customer, CGN."
