摘要
A method is provided for determining the closeness to criticality of a nuclear reactor during start-up, comprising the steps of completing a control rod withdrawal step, thereby generating a change in an output signal of a neutron detector; measuring the output signal after the completion of the control rod withdrawal step and during a transient portion of the output signal; calculating the effective neutron multiplication factor (Keff) based upon the measured output signal and elapsed time between output signal measurements; and determining the closeness to criticality of the nuclear reactor based upon the calculated value of the effective neutron multiplication factor (Keff). The invention also encompasses apparatus used to perform the above method. IMAGE
