Abstract
Due to the advancement of technology and science, reactor control systems have also improved efficiency, safety, and reliability. One of the important developments in reactor control systems is the use of advanced computers and artificial intelligence to control and monitor the process of reactor operation. These computers are capable of fast and precise data analysis, reaction prediction, and reactor performance control. Additionally, these systems can communicate with other systems and exchange real-time data with other reactor system components. The control systems of the reactors are also equipped with advanced automation systems. These systems include advanced sensors, digital control systems, intelligent algorithms, and advanced monitoring and control methods. Also, in terms of security, many efforts have been made to make reactor control systems more secure against both external and internal threats. Furthermore, reactor control systems have taken advantage of new technologies, including supercomputing, wireless networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies enable better communication and coordination between different system components and improve efficiency and security. Consequently, several enhancements have been made to reactor control systems, which have improved reactor operation efficiency, safety, and stability. This project aims to master the more accurate and appropriate control of Isfahanʹs subcritical light water reactor by utilizing current control methods and developing a hardware and software environment. We intend to use a programmable logic controller to model the reactor control instead of a contactor-relay system. We will also use the updated electrical panel, design and construct a new one, along with creating and carrying out a smart, modern control roomʹs testing and commissioning and designing, programming, and installing all the necessary procedures. We will test the research and observe the outcome in practice by utilizing the new control system and, if feasible, modifying the control roomʹs hardware.
