Abstract

This report presents the findings from a survey of emerging technologies in the field of instrumentation and controls (I&C). The report (1) gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in selected technology focus areas for industrial, research, or scientific applications that are relevant to nuclear power plant I&C systems, (2) identifies significant technological advances or projected developments that could impact safety-related applications for upgrades at existing reactors and for near-term or long-term deployment at future nuclear power plants, and (3) suggests potential research needs for consideration and technology trends for monitoring.
