Nuclear Instrumentation Isolated Output Signal Scaling Method and System Employing Same

摘要

A method of determining a core design parameter of a nuclear reactor, includes: calibrating an isolated voltage output from a NIS cabinet associated with the nuclear reactor using a calibrated signal source as an input to the NIS cabinet; recording values of the calibrated signal source used in the calibrating and corresponding values of the output voltage from the calibrating in an as-left cabinet calibration data table; using a computing device connected to the isolated voltage output from the NIS cabinet, converting the voltage output signal to a converted detector signal using at least some of the values in the as-left cabinet calibration data table in an improved signal conversion equation; and using the computing device, employing the converted detector signal to determine the core design parameter.
