An Operator Information Support System (OISS) has been installed at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. For the first time this advance system has been implemented by Russia in anoverseas country. 

 Rosatom Automated Control Systems (RASU) successfully integrated the OISS into the instru mentation and control (I and C) system of Unit 1 currently undergoing commissioning.

 First ever deployment of the advanced digital support system underscores Bangladesh’s commitment to adopting world-class technologies for the safe and efficient operation of its first nuclear power plant.

The OISS acts as a “smart assistant” for plant operators, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of tens of thousands of operational parameters. The system enhances information visualization, supports decision-making, and helps improve operational efficiency and reliability.

Speaking on the development, Andrey Butko, CEO of RASU, said: “The Operator Information Support System is designed to assist personnel in monitoring and analyzing the condition of the power unit in real time. By optimizing information processing and supporting operator decision-making, the system significantly enhances operational efficiency and reliability. Its implementation at Rooppur NPP represents another important milestone in introducing advanced digital technologies to nuclear energy projects worldwide.”

Dr. Md. Kabir Hossain, Project Director of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Construction Project, emphasized the significance of the initiative for Bangladesh’s energy future: “Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is a landmark project for Bangladesh’s energy sector. Alongside modern reactor technology, the introduction of advanced digital solutions such as OISS will help establish a strong operational culture and improve the effectiveness of plant personnel. This system will serve as an important support tool for operators at Bangladesh’s first nuclear power

plant.”

This system will be restricted for the internal use of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant' authorised personnel only. 

The OISS was first piloted at Novovoronezh NPP in Russia and has already been introduced at Kursk NPP-2, one of the country’s most advanced nuclear power facilities.

The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant features two Russian-designed VVER-1200 reactors with a combined capacity of 2,400 MW. The Generation III+ VVER-1200 reactor technology meets all modern international safety standards and is already operating successfully in Russia and Belarus. Rosatom is also implementing similar projects in Egypt, Hungary, Türkiye, China, and Kazakhstan. – Press release
