12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021)
Plenary Session|Panel
Monday, June 14, 2021|1:00–3:30PM EDT
Staff Producer:
Dan Goldberg (ANS)
Nuclear instrumentation, controls, and human-machine interface technologies are a vital component of the next generation of advanced reactors. The pace of advances in novel ICHMI technologies and their deployment has increased in recent years, and they are essential to achieving the enhanced safety and improved economics of advanced reactors. Speakers from across the ICHMI community will discuss recent successes, what we have learned, and preview exciting advances and opportunities to assure success with deploying the next generation of reactors.
