China's Digital Control System (DCS) FirmSys has passed a review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the country's state-owned assets watchdog said on Wednesday. This will help China's manufacturing industry expand its influence and boost its global presence, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council said on its website.
DCS, which can control the operation of over 260 systems and nearly 10,000 pieces of equipment, is vital to nuclear power plants, ensuring safety, reliability and stability.
Following the United States, France and Japan, China is the fourth country with its own DCS. DCS FirmSys, cheaper than its foreign counterparts, has been widely used in China's nuclear power plants, and is expected to be used in aviation and shipbuilding in the future.
