13 3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 1)

14 3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) COOPERATION WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION Eletronuclear developed a two year project with the EC to upgrade Safety Related I&C of Angra 2. The project aimed to define a strategy for the replacement of the existing analogue I&C equipment currently used in Angra 2, mainly the systems important to safety. The project reached its conclusion in the beginning of The results has been used to modernize Angra 2 safety related I&C.

15 3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) What we have done successfully regarding Monitoring? Upgrade of Plant Process Computer SICA Installation of Thermal Transient Monitoring System Upgrade of LPMS and Vibration Monitoring System Upgrade of Aeroball System Upgrade of Reactor Vessel Level Instrumentation System What we are planning to do regarding Monitoring? Modernization of Gas Stack Monitoring (KLK) Modernization of Radiation System (replacement SINUPERM M) Modernization of Physical Protection System - (CZ)

16 3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) What we have done successfully regarding Control? Modernization of Chlorination System Modernization of Turbine Building Crane Control Modernization of Polar Bridge Crane Control Modernization of Boiler Control Loops Modernization of Reactor Control System (JS) What we are planning to do regarding Control? Modernization of Refueling Machine

17 4- Recommendations to IAEA programme (2018 to 2021) HFE Angra unit 1 - Simplified guidance to aid in definition of MCR/MCB End Point Vision. I&C digital upgrade for process control systems. Angra unit 3 HFE requirements FSAR chapter 18; New technologies applied to digital I&C systems (Ex: Neural Network, Fuzzy Inference Systems and Big Data) ; Tech Meeting topics to exchange informations Control loops tuning for non expected transients (Ex: 100% load rejection), System Health Management, V&V of digital I&C upgrades and VDU based MCR design; Cyber Security Managing external and internal security of digital systems. Managing domain policies. Ageing management of electrical equipment and components (IGALL).
