RPI sensors and connecting lines are installed on Reactor Vessel Head and K1 qualified according to RCCE. Framatome RPI solution uses the highly reliable safety-classified TELEPERM XS (TXS). Each of the TXS-based RPI cabinets integrate power supply modules for sensors and complete conditioning of analog signals.
