Computer security as a discipline is challenged by increasing threat vectors targeting a dynamic technological environment. This publication establishes guidance addressing the challenge of applying computer security measures to instrumentation and control (I&C) systems at nuclear facilities. The measures are intended to protect these I&C systems throughout their entire life cycles against malicious acts perpetrated by threat actors. The technical basis and methodologies for the application of these computer security measures are considered. The publication also addresses the application of such measures to the development, simulation and maintenance environments of these I&C systems. In addition, account is taken of developments in human factors engineering and nuclear safety. This Technical Guidance references and takes into account other Safety Guides and IAEA Nuclear Security Series publications that provide guidance relating to I&C design.
This publication is intended to present a basic overview of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in nuclear power plants and to serve as a reference guide on the subject. Furthermore, it provides an explanation of the significant role I&C systems have in maintaining and improving safety, plant performance and economic returns. Numerous publications have been prepared to address these issues; the present publication places those technical publications within the context of a global view of nuclear power plant I&C systems and their life cycles.

AMS-IAC manufacture a range of filling valves and couplings for the rail industry to prevent diesel spillages during the filling process. We have produced a range of free training videos to assist customers with self maintenance, to increase the products lifespan and reduce ownership costs.
Our range of mechanical valves were designed to tackle pollution, prevent waste and make remote installations safer. They can be used as a last line of defence backing up existing electronic technology or on their own.
To improve safety and reliability of installations and make it easier to maintain and replace instruments, we produce a range of fabrications that allow isolation and protection of instrumentation and control products.
Focusing on C&I applications our in house fabrication capabilities (including ASME IX welding) has an agile workspace, not a production line. This flexibility allows us to deliver engineered solutions quicker.
Our resources include case studies, training videos and technical documents. These will be developed to help customers with their application needs and assist them with self maintenance of products and systems.
To solve a specific problem with access and the lack of height between a fuel tank and the trains body, AMS have modified the head of our approved level sensors to allow fitting in confined spaces. This development also removed the need for the transmitter to be located in a separate box on the side of the tank and allowed the sensor to be wired directly to the indicators, saving significant additional costs in materials and wiring time.

Fuel and oil leak detection systems are designed to detect the presence of leaking fuel oil and other hydrocarbons. Uses include detection of leaking storage tanks, leaks from fuel pumps, leaks within bunded fuel tanks, pipe in pipe leak, generators leaking fuel onto the floor and many other applications.
P&IDs are a schematic illustration of the functional relationship of piping, instrumentation and system equipment components used in the field of instrumentation and control or automation. They are typically created by engineers who are designing a manufacturing process for a physical plant.
While there are no exact standards for the way P&IDs should be drawn, there have been standards suggested by the Process Industry Practice (PIP), a consortium of process industry owners and engineering construction contractors who serve the industry. PIC001: Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Documentation Criteria details what a P&ID should contain:
Equipment is comprised of miscellaneous P&ID units that don't fit into the other categories. This group includes hardware like compressors, conveyors, motors, turbines, vacuums, and other mechanical devices.
A pipe is a tube that transports fluid substances. Piping can be made of various materials, including metal and plastic. The piping group is made up of one-to-many pipes, multi-line pipes, separators, and other types of piping devices.
A vessel is a container that is used to store fluid. It may also alter the characteristics of the fluid during storage. The vessels category includes tanks, cylinders, columns, bags, and other vessels.
A valve regulates, directs, or controls the flow of a fluid by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways in a piping system. This category includes rotameters, orifices, and other types of valves.
There are lots of software tools that enable diagramming. But there are criteria that can make P&ID more efficient: ISA standards adherence, ease of use, ability to integrate into other productivity tools, and most importantly in many cases, the power to collaborate with other team members and departments.
