Reactor Programmable Logic Controller

Unlike the RTUs, this device both provides an interface to a peripheral (the reactor) to the supervisor, but also takes actions on its own. This application offers:

  • The Reactor Protection System (RPS)
  • Communications interface with the supervisor for manual and automatic control and reporting of build and status information
  • Burn rate setpoint ramping
  • Crash-resilient "threaded" application

Reactor Protection System

The RPS checks for unsafe conditions and then SCRAMs the reactor if those conditions are met. Even if someone tries to re-enable the reactor through the Mekanism interface, it will re-SCRAM the reactor until it is RESET.
