Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are used for safety-related measurements in nuclear power plants and must therefore respond to temperature changes in a timely fashion. Experience has shown that RTD response time degradation can occur with aging. Therefore, periodic response time testing is performed to ensure that the acceptable response time limits are not exceeded. Periodic tests performed over the last 9 yr have revealed unacceptable response times for a number of RTDs in several nuclear power plants. This paper presents the laboratory and field experience with response time testing of nuclear plant RTDs.
