Title: Assessment of the adequacy of a criticality incident detection system

Abstract

The primary purpose of a criticality incident detection (CID) and alarm system is to minimize, by means of building evacuation, the radiation doses received by plant personnel. The adequacy of a CID systems installed in a nuclear plant within the UK was investigated. Results are described.
