Ushering a New Era of Clean Energy Nuclear Reactors Dr. Jose N. Reyes, CTO, NuScale Power, LLC
The Multi-Module Challenge:
As NuScale Power moves forward, we typically find ourselves talking about the NuScale Power Module in terms of size, simplicity, reliability, cost and constructability. While all of these are important areas where we have made major advancements, one area where we are leaping ahead is in our control room and simulator design. Here, I’d like to highlight some of the industry-leading work we are doing in digital Instrumentation and Controls (I&C), Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and Human Systems Interface (HSI).
