NuScale power adds innovations to a new protection system

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - NuScale Power announced Tuesday it is adding a brand new highly integrated protection system(HIS) by teaming up with Rocky Creek Innovations. They are hoping that HIS will bring a fresh safety look to be able to monitor their NuScale Power Module(NPM) and also add a brand new component by protecting their plants from cybersecurity hacking.

NuScale also is opening this system up with a new laboratory in conjunction with The Center for Advanced Energy Studies(CAES). The Small Reactor Simulator Laboratory is being opened which does feature a control room with HIS implemented. This laboratory will be able to provide new energy research, provide more information to the general public, and provide a space for CAES to be able to collaborate together.

HIS has already completed a complete thorough testing and has been successfully approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The units of the system are currently being manufactured.
