METHOD OF PRODUCING MIXED IN-CORE MAPS AND APPLICATION TO THE CALIBRATION OF FIXED INSTRUMENTATION

摘要

The object of the present invention is a method for establishing so-called mixed IN-CORE mappings. Its essential purpose is to compensate a loss of density of a reference instrumentation, called RIC instrumentation (or RIC system), when a significant number of locations, initially used by the sensors of the RIC system, are occupied by fixed collectron-type rods. An obvious physical interest lies in the increase of the measurement density, and thus of the level of confidence, associated with the operating results deduced from the processing of these measurements. One application of the method according to the invention concerns a collectron-type detector calibration method placed inside a nuclear reactor core.
