Abstract
The paper presents a design method, which is aimed at reducing the effect of ionizing radiation on fault control instrumentation. It is shown that the use of optical fiber in the structure of fault control instrumentation improves the reliability, safety and work stability of fault control instrumentation. The use of optical fiber provides an opportunity to improve the metrological characteristics of information and measurement channels for valves control system. In most cases the control must be carried out in rather harsh internal working environment of the diagnostic object, which is characterized by the presence of strong magnetic fields, high temperature, high humidity, ozone, cross-guidance between communication lines and ionizing radiation of NPPs. Using the advantages of using valet fault control instrumentation, fault control instruments were implemented for valves control system with optical fiber, which can function in the pressurized zone of NPP reactors. Scheme of the valves control system controller with the fiber-optic sensor proposed. The conducted theoretical researches allowed developing optoelectronic control systems with higher technical characteristics, which allows improving the quality of control of valet system operation in the pressurized zone of NPP reactors.
