DOE secretary and New York congressman call for reopening of Indian Point
Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright joined U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) at the site of the closed Indian Point nuclear power plant on Friday, March 6, as Lawler called for the reopening of the facility. He emphasized that the shutdown of the plant in 2021 has led to higher electricity costs for the people of New York state and increased strain on the state’s electric grid.

There is a need in the nuclear industry for a qualified digital Safety Display System due to obsolescence and reliability issues with the currently installed display systems. This paper describes a digital Safety Display System designed by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The paper describes how the Safety Display System (SDS) interfaces with the integrated safety system. The SDS provides the man-machine interfaces to the safety system. The paper describes how the integrated safety system and SDS complies with the design principles described in the Design-Specific Review Standard, Section 7.1, Instrumentation and Controls – Fundamental Principles. The paper also describes how an integrated safety system and SDS complies with selected guidelines of DI&C-ISG-04, Section 1, Interdivisional Communications.
