‘Keeping track at Cofrentes’

Optimising control and monitoring in FME zones using UHF RFID technology

RFID technology has been used to monitor and control materials entering foreign material exclusion zones at Cofrentes Nuclear Plant with VIGIA technology, an innovation developed by GDES.

Our GDES Innovation colleagues José Ignacio Roselló, Alberto Mínguez and Jesús Lacalle discuss the Project in the last issue of Nuclear Engineering International.
