Carlson, W F; Henshall, J B; Hampsten, K L

One of the major objectives of the current phase of the SP-100 program is to demonstrate the performance of a full-scale, prototypic nuclear subsystem of a 100 kWe space nuclear power supply. Such a test is planned at the SP-100 Test Site located at US Department of Energy facilities near Richland, Washington. Considerations involved in selecting a design for the central, integrated facility control system which will control and monitor the performance of the nuclear subsystem and supporting facility systems are discussed. These considerations have been translated into the design of a modern, commerically available, microprocessor based control and monitoring system, using color graphics techniques for the operator interface.
