Abstract
The use of wireless communications for signal transmission in nuclear power plants has been under discussion for years. A number of situations where wireless communications are used to support varied applications in nuclear power plants are presented here.

ZigBee is a collection of private, public, and academic sector entities committed to standardizing cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked monitoring and control products based on an open global standard. IEEE 802.15.4 is supported by the ZigBee Alliance and targets applications that do not need high data speeds or share large amounts of data. In return, ZigBee devices do not consume large amounts of power. ZigBee devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band at a data rate of 250 kb/s. ISA100 and WirelessHART are two emerging standards for wireless sensors based on the IEEE 802.15.4 radio. ISA100, developed by ISA ( www.isa.org ), a leading global non-profit organization of industrial automation professionals and a recognized standards body, allows the deployment of a single integrated wireless infrastructure platform that can simultaneously communicate over existing application protocols (e.g., HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus, and Profibus). WirelessHART combines the well-established HART communication protocol with IEEE 802.15.4 radios and is supported by the HART Communication Foundation, an independent not-for-profit organization providing worldwide support for the HART technology.
