An advanced Operator Information Support System (OISS) has been installed at Unit 1 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, marking the first deployment of the Russian-developed digital technology in an overseas nuclear project.
Developed by Rosatom Automated Control Systems (RASU), the system has been integrated into the plant’s instrumentation and control system during the commissioning phase of the unit.
The OISS functions as a “smart assistant” for operators by enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of thousands of operational parameters. The system is designed to improve information visualization, support operator decision-making, and enhance the overall efficiency and reliability of plant operations.
RASU CEO Andrey Butko said the digital platform would help operators monitor the condition of the power unit more effectively and strengthen operational reliability through advanced data processing and analysis.
Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project Director Dr. Md. Kabir Hossain described the system as an important step for Bangladesh’s nuclear energy future, saying the introduction of advanced digital technologies would help establish a strong operational culture at the country’s first nuclear power facility.
The OISS will be used exclusively by authorized personnel at the Rooppur plant.
The system was first piloted at Russia’s Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant and later introduced at Kursk NPP-2.
The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant consists of two Russian-designed VVER-1200 reactors with a combined generation capacity of 2,400 MW. The Generation III+ reactors comply with modern international safety standards and are currently in operation in several countries, including Russia and Belarus.
