The paper involves the formulation of the transient digital control problem of power reactors. Simplifications have been considered that have to be made to enable modern control theory to be applicable for use in digital control. Included in the discussion are the approaches of digital control systems that would statisfy stability, autonomy, and optimal filtering criteria. The aim of this discussion is to propose possible solutions of the considered problem and further investigations.
