This achievement will further enhance nuclear instrumentation control, contributing to the advancement of the nuclear power industry.

With the certification of the NicSys®8000N platform, NPIC becomes China's first institution possessing independent intellectual property rights of the Nuclear Advanced Safety Platform of I&C (NASPIC) based on microprocessor technology, the NicSys®8000N platform based on FPGA technology, and the non-safety-grade DCS Longqi platform.

As the safeguard for the nuclear facility, the NicSys®8000N platform is developed by CNCS with over a decade of dedicated effort, possessing complete independent intellectual property rights.

It features the FPGA technology which is widely employed in aerospace and other fields.
