Abstract :
Duplicated digital computers will directly manipulate thle reactivity devices of the KANUPP 137 MWe HWR to match the reactor power output to the turbine demand. This paper describes the system design and testing, with emphasis on the methods of signal conditioning, the choice of sampling and control calculation frequencies, and the transformation of analog control algorithms to recursive form.
