The process monitoring computer system (PMCS) at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP) is a set of data acquisition devices that transmit data from the plant instrumentation and specialty devices installed on the plant equipment to a computer for data processing and storage. The system is used by both the safeguards and operations staffs to help assure the controlled operation of the facility through on-line analysis of process data in a quick and convenient manner. The PMCS has demonstrated that the goals of safeguards and production may be combined into one overall process system, thus assuring a higher degree of process efficiency and surety of mutually desirable goals.
