Design Criteria of Instrumentation and Control in Fuel Handling System of RDE

The Experimental Power Reactor (RDE) is built based on HTGR technology with pebble fuel. The fuel handling system in the RDE is one of the major installations for the RDE to maintain in continuous operation without being shutdown. There are several stages in RDE fuel supply in its fuel handling system, first fresh fuel input stage, second fuel fuel field selection, and third used fuel selection which can still be used provided that it still meets degree burn / burn-up below 80% and become waste (spent fuel). These three processes need to be monitored and controlled with an integrated instrumentation system. The system is generally called the instrumentation and control system (I&C) fuel handling system To meet these needs it is necessary to design and construction the system required criteria with reference to several standards.
