Ishwardi (Pabna) Correspondent :
Equipment required for automatic process control system for both units of Rooppur Nuclear Power Project was recently shipped from Russia. These instruments have been developed by a specialized institute under Rosatom (Specialized Scientific Research Institute for Instrumentation Engineering – SNIIP). The equipment will be delivered to the project site very soon. The Ruppur Project Authority and Rosatom’s media cell announced the shipment of radiation monitoring equipment on Thursday.
15 radiation monitoring system units (ARMS) have been shipped for the first unit and 8 for the second unit. These systems have been developed considering the special needs of Rooppur project.
A batch of 300 dosimeters and filter holders for personal use will arrive at the project site by the end of this year.
Project Director Dr. Zahidul Hasan said, with the help of automatic radiation monitoring system, the radiation parameters of the specified objects are collected, processed, stored and data displayed.
These systems are used in various science and research centers including nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel cycle institutes.
Alexander Kartsev, chief executive of SNIIP, the manufacturer of these machines, said, “The machines for the automatic process control system are being delivered to the Ruppur site in a single package.
This kind of solution is going to be used for the first time in Rooppur project. We got the original hardware before the dosimeter arrived for personal use. We are really happy that the essentials for the startup of the project are in hand soon”.
It is learned that earlier SNIIP has shipped necessary equipment, detection units and various devices for continuous radiation monitoring inside the room. In addition, the hardware and software required for the personal dosimetric monitoring system have also already been delivered to the project site.
This system collects various data from dosimeters used by personnel working in nuclear power plants. Other essential equipment that has arrived includes data processing hardware, radiation pollution monitoring equipment, laboratory equipment, etc.
