The ICCMS will support the extended power uprate at the utility’s Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear power plant and the new system will be developed at Scientech’s facility in Idaho Falls.
The new protection system utilizes analog technology to perform safety functions, while providing modern computer-based online performance monitoring through an isolated, non-safety monitor.
This combination of analog and digital technologies is designed to simplify the licensing process and reduce cyber-security concerns.
Curtiss-Wright Flow Control president and Curtiss-Wright Co-CEO David Linton said the analog-safety related portion is fully testable, easily understood, and easily licensed..
Curtiss-Wright Flow Control specializes in the design and manufacture of highly engineered valves, pumps, motors, generators, electronics, systems and related products for the commercial nuclear power industry, oil and gas processing facilities and a range of critical military programs.
