Nuplex 80+ is an advanced control complex designed by ABB Combustion Engineering (ABB C-E) to meet the demanding human factors, reliability, and licensing requirements of nuclear power generating stations. It is characterized by distributed digital processing, fiber-optic data communications, and touch-sensitive video displays. This advanced design was originally developed for System 80+ [ABB C-E's evolutionary advanced light water reactor (ALWR)], but its utilization of sound human factors principles and modern digital technology has also resulted in the selection of Nuplex 80+ for use in the US Department of Energy's New Production Reactor Program. This paper offers an overview of Nuplex 80+ and some insight into the Design Certification licensing process and key issues of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review.
