History of the SRPA "Impulse"

In 1959, in Siverskodonetsk the branch of control computing equipment design engineering bureau was established with the purpose of automation of technological processes at the chemical plant “Azot”.

Development of control computing complexes: “Automatic dispatching system” for Siverskodonetsk PA “Azot”; “Automatic operator” for Chernorechensk Chemical Plant; “Adviser of a blast furnace master” for “Azovstal” Plant, Dnipropetrovsk, Kryvyi Rih Iron and Steel Works.

In 1963, the branch was reorganized into Research Institute for Control Computers (NIIUVM).

Development of M-2000, M-3000 computers, which were the first computers in the USSR with the third-generation architecture (IBM/360). Development and commissioning of the first in the USSR automated flight ticket selling network Sirena-1.

Development and start of the batch manufacturing of control mini-computers М-6000, М-7000 for such branches as: thermal power engineering, oil and gas, chemical, aerospace, etc

In 1976, works started under the international program for creation of a series of small control computers. Before 1990, more than 10 000 of SМ-1, SM-1M, SМ-2, SМ-2М, SМ-1210, SМ-1634, TVSО-1, PS 1001 complexes were produced based on developments by SRPA “Impulse”.

1982. The Order of the Ministry of Instrument Engineering, appointed RPA “Impulse” the Leading Organization in the USSR for the Development, Commercialization, And Implementation of Control Computer Machinery for Nuclear Power Engineering.

At 22 power units of NPPs in Eastern European countries, redundant control complexes SM-2M were commissioned. Basic components of the Microprocessor Instrumentation and Control System MSKU M were developed.

Dozens of instrumentation and control systems have been put into operation at nuclear and thermal power facilities, as well as in the oil and gas industry.

The second-generation platform MSKU 2M was developed: MSKU 2 industrial controllers, PS5110, PS5120 workstations, automated workstations for process operators and other equipment

At the Khmelnytskyi NPP-2 and Rivne NPP-4 power units, the upper block level IVS, the SVRK-M in-core monitoring system, and the AKNP-I neutron flux monitoring equipment were commissioned.

The team and veterans celebrated the 50th anniversary of the enterprise.

SRPA “Impulse” won a number of international tenders within the framework of the “Tacis” and the “Modernization Program for Khmelnytskyi NPP-2 / Rivne NPP-4 after Start-up” projects.

SRPA “Impulse” won the international tender for the supply of neutron flux and boron concentration monitoring systems for power unit 2 of the Armenian NPP

Commissioning of the first Ukrainian digital interlocking system, MPC-U, at the “Pereyizdna” station.

SRPA “Impulse” won an international tender for the supply of complex diagnostics systems for three reactors of Ukrainian NPPs.

In 2016, a meeting of the Council of Chief Engineers of NNEGC “Energoatom” was held at the site of SRPA “Impulse”.

SRPA “Impulse” became the winner in the international tender for MPC-U supply to the European Union.

The new-generation system SVRK-M2 based on the NRC “ImCore” successfully passed factory acceptance testing.

Commissioning of SVRK-M2 with the national calculation complex “ImCore” at power plants in Ukraine and centralized traffic control system on Ukrainian railways that are part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
