Battle, R E; Corbett, G K

A fault-tolerant programmable logic controller (PLC) and operator workstations have been programmed to replace the hard-wired relay control system in the 2-MW Bulk Shielding Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In addition to the PLC and remote and local operator workstations, auxiliary systems include a video system, an intercom system, and a fiber optic communication system. The equipment has been designed with reliability and fail-safe features as important considerations. Significant features of the system are described. 2 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
