Description
The 12th international topical meeting on Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021) was held virtually June 14-17, 2021, embedded in the 2021 ANS Virtual Annual Meeting. Organized by ANS's Human Factors, Instrumentation & Controls Division (HFICD), the meeting focused on advances and successes in technologies and deployment and lessons learned. The meeting proceedings include 144 papers from the instrumentation and controls (I&C) and human-machine interface communities that address such topics as advances in sensors and sensor characterization, control-room design, and I&C systems; the latest trends in digital I&C and human factors; digital considerations for safety applications; and I&C for autonomous operations and online maintenance i the next generation of reactors.
