Abstract

This paper describes the development of a user interface aimed mainly at testing new power control algorithms in a TRIGA Mark III reactor. The interface is fully compatible with the current computing environment of the reactor’s operating digital console at the Mexican Nuclear Centre. The interface, developed in Visual Basic, has been conceived as an aid tool in the testing and validation of new and existing algorithms for the ascent, regulation and decrease of the reactor power. The design steps of the fuzzy control algorithm for power regulation and the characteristics of the nuclear channels that provide the signals required by the controller are also described in this paper.
