Nuclear reactor control and instrumentation systems

Ultra’s Command & Control Systems business is supplying control and instrumentation equipment to be used as part of the propulsion system for Royal Navy submarines. Ultra’s role is that of equipment integrator for the control and instrumentation suite and therefore includes the full spectrum of system engineering skills, embracing requirements capture, architecture design, development, verification and production. Command & Control Systems also supplies neutron flux detectors and associated super-screened cables. These measure neutron flux density, which directly correlates with the level of fission activity within a civil or military nuclear reactor and so form part of the reactor control and instrumentation system.
