  • Abstract
    A Direct Digital Controller (DDC) using a microcomputer has been designed to control the Babcock and Wilcox Lynchburg Pool Reactor. The microcomputer is a new design component which is rapidly penetrating all areas of electronic system design. This paper describes the application of microcomputers to process control. The superior capabilities of microcomputers permit the use of new analytical control techniques which provide improved reactor dynamic response.
