In-core instrumentation and reactor core assessment (1991)

Description

Proceedings of a Specialists' MeetingPittsburgh, USA, 1-4 October, 1991This Specialists' Meeting on In-core Instrumentation and Reactor Core Assessment is the third in a series initiated by the NEA Committee on Reactor Physics and continued by the NEA Nuclear Science Committee. The first meeting was held in Fredrikstad, Norway, in 1983, the second at Cadarache, France, in 1988.The purpose of the meeting was to review the improvements in the methods used to gather and interpret information on the conditions of the reactor core. Thirty-nine papers were presented in six sessions covering radiation sensors, safety analysis, system and validation, other miscellaneous measurements, core monitoring and core performance. One hundred and nine participants from nineteen countries and International Organisations attended the meeting.Participation from non-OECD countries was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Working Group on Nuclear Power Plant Control and Instrumentation (IWGNPPCI) of the International Atomic Energy Agency.Table of Contents: Radiation Sensors Safety Analysis Methods Measurement Systems and Signal Validation/ProcessingOther Measurements Core Monitoring Core Performance Assessment
