The gamma thermometer (GT) has gained increasing interest to replace the local power range monitor (LPRM) and the traversing in-core probe (TIP) as the core monitoring device in new boiling water reactor (BWR) designs. The number of GTs is designed between the number of LPRMs, 4, and the number of TIPs, 24, per string, but its optimal number is yet to be determined. The authors have modified the BWR core Simulator PANACEA for analyzing the core power GT adaptation and have compared the axial core-averaged relative power distributions and two thermal limits of the GT 8- and 12-point adaptations against those of the TIP 24-point adaptation.
