The main focus of ENSRIC is to find cost- and time effective methods for long term operation of automation systems in the Nordic nuclear power plants (NPP). ENSRIC will enable this by using international experience applied to a Nordic context, to assist the NPPs and authorities to make necessary decisions early in the process. It also constitutes an arena to analyse and discuss future I&C strategies for NPPs, authorities, researchers and vendors.

In the coming years a considerable amount of I&C systems and equipment must be replaced or upgraded because of different aspects of aging. This is a challenge, and the experience from recent years shows that this is time consuming for both regulators and nuclear power plants.
