Updated 2024-08-14 Published 2019-02-18

This report summarizes the impressions and reflection from a larger nuclear instrumentation and control and Human-Machine Interface conference in San Francisco, USA.

The report highlights important trends and topics mentioned at the conference as well as insights on how these trends affect or could be of interest to the Nordic nuclear power plants.

Characteristic for the conference was the downward pressure on cost and price within large parts of electricity production, not least the nuclear power, and how it affects operation/maintenance and modernization of nuclear power plants.
