THE IMPORTANCE OF IN-CORE INSTRUMENTATION. Sect. I of ADVANCED COURSE ON IN-CORE INSTRUMENTATION FOR WATER COOLED REACTORS, ORGANIZED BY THE NETHERLANDS'-NORWEGIAN REACTOR SCHOOL AT INSTITUTT FOR ATOMENERGI, KJELLER, NORWAY, 21st AUGUST-1st SEPTEMBER 1961. VOLUME I

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4779629
A discussion of in-core instrumentation for water-cooled power reactors is presented. It is noted that the trend toward more in-core instrumentation was brought about by the need to push reactor designs closer to safe limits to cut the price of nuclear power. The discussion concerns instruments for reactor performance primarily; however, control and safety instrumentation are also considered. Included are discussions of instrumentation for measurement of neutron flux, fuel temperature, hydrodynamic quantities, pressure, flow, coolant temperature, and steam voids. Other instrumentation for canning rupture detection is discussed along with a classification of in-core measurements. (J.R.D.)
