applications, operating nuclear power plants, a fuel cycle facility, content of steam, a process

3 Make a written translation of the following:
In the United States, digital I&C systems have been used in many applications in nuclear
power plants, including feedwater control systems, recirculation control systems,
demineralizer control systems, main turbine controls, and many other nonsafety systems.
With the NRC approval of the Eagle Series, the Common Qualified Platform (Common Q),
Triconex, and the Teleperm XS system for safety-related applications, operating nuclear
power plants may consider their use in retrofitting digital I&C systems at their facilities.
All new nuclear power plants are being designed with integrated digital I&C systems as the
backbone of protection, controls, alarms, and display and monitoring.
Several fuel cycle facilities make extensive use of distributed control systems and
programmlogic controllers (PLCs) based on digital design technology both in their normal
process control systems and safety control systems. An example of the use of digital
technology in process control in a fuel cycle facility would be controlling the moisture content
of steam used in a process vessel through control of the steam temperature. Digital technology
could also be used to perform a safety function as an interlock that prevents filling of a vessel
if it is not in the proper location.
4 Say whether the following statements are true or false in relation to the information in the
text. Change false statements into true ones.
1. In the United States, digital I&C systems have been used in feedwater control systems,
recirculation control systems, demineralizer control systems, main turbine controls, and many
other safety systems.
2. All new nuclear power plants are being designed with integrated digital I&C systems as
the backbone of protection, controls, alarms, and display and monitoring.
3.Digital Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) systems have been in use for over ten
decades in various applications.
4. The use of computers is new in nuclear power plants. Early applications were limited to
programmable logic controllers and plant process monitoring computers.
5. In the 1990s, digital technologies were integrated into control systems for various
subsystems, starting with the auxiliary systems and then moving to primary systems.
6. An example of the use of digital technology in process control in a fuel cycle facility
would be controlling the moisture content of petroleum used in a process vessel through
control of the steam temperature.
5 Pick out from Text 1 all the sentences in the Passive Voice, translate into Ukrainian and
make them negative and interrogative.
Example:
Digital I&C systems are widely used in almost all industrial applications in one form or
another.
Digital I&C systems are not widely used in almost all industrial applications in one form or
another.
