Plant Modernization

Research and Development to address nuclear-plant economic viability in current and future energy markets through innovation, efficiency gains, and business-model transformation through digital technologies. This includes addressing long-term aging and modernization or replacement of legacy instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies by research, development, and testing of new I&C technologies and advanced condition-monitoring technologies for more automated and reliable plant operation. The resulting R&D products will enable modernization of plant systems and processes while building a technology-centered business-model platform that supports improved performance at lower cost.
