IMPROVEMENTS IN NUCLEAR REACTOR POWER MONITOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4834326
An improved method and apparatus for determining the relative poweri and power distribution throughout a reactor core are described which eliminates pressure vessel penetrations, placement of foreign materials in the reactor, and interference with reactor operation. In this method, the radiation emitted from the core is collimated and detected at a point remote from the core; the power level is indicated by the amount of attenuation of the radiation, which is inversely proportional to the coolant temperature. The radiation to be collimated preferably is emitted from one end of a coolant flow channel. (D.L.C.)
