The results from this programme is used in the work to replace existing systems and methods, by identifying new technologies to be applied where life time extension of existing systems is not possible. The goal is to maintain the high security levels of Swedish nuclear power plants to a low cost. The programme also emphasises the importance of engaging both senior and junior experts in the field to ensure knowledge transfer and exchanges of experience.

Energiforsk's Nuclear Safety Related I&C, ENSRIC, programme has been ongoing since 2014.

All results and communications in the programme are in English.

Rådsansvarig Kärnkraft

Jag ansvarar för forskningsområde Kärnkraft och sex av de ingående programmen: Betong, Outlook & technology, ENSRIC (I&C), Vibrationer, Gino (interaktion mellan kärnkraft och nät) och Polymera material. Utöver det är jag programrådsansvarig för Svenskt centrum för hållbar vattenkraft, SVC. Under mitt arbetsliv som projektledare har jag hoppat hage mellan bygg- och energibranscherna med fokus på vattenkraft, kärnkraft och offentliga kultur- och idrottsfastigheter. Det är viktigt för mig att mitt arbete ger något tillbaka till samhället och övriga medborgare. Jag har bott i Stockholm länge, men är och förblir dalslänning.

Process for Managing Ageing of I&C Equipment
The Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems can be regarded as the nerves and brain of a nuclear power plant. Thus, effective processes for management of I&C ageing and obsolescence are crucial for maintaining safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants over time.
