The features of the kinematics of elastic pp (dd) scattering in the collider system, as well as some issues concerning registration and selection of elastic scattering events in the NICA colliding beams are considered. Equality and the opposite direction of the scattered particle momenta provide a powerful selection criterion for elastic collisions. Variants of the organization of the trigger signal for recording tracks of secondary particles and DAQ system are given. The estimates of the characteristics of elastic NN processes are obtained from available dσ/dΩCM data for the elastic pp and np scattering. The paper presents examples of simulations using the Monte-Carlo of elastic pp scattering in the colliding proton beams and quasi-elastic np scattering in the colliding deuteron beams and evaluates the outputs of these processes at the NICA collider.
