NUCLEAR REACTOR CORE PERFORMANCE DATA VISUALIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus of a nuclear reactor core performance data visualization system for extracting and visually displaying large amounts of numerical performance data acquired from an operational nuclear reactor or from nuclear reactor core simulator. SOLUTION: The visualization system apparatus includes a color display device, a digital computer having a data storage memory, and one or more data communication links for communicating with reactor core sensors and/or other computers. After acquiring performance parameter data, the visualization system computer extracts selected performance data and generates specific types of visual display. In this manner, a user can view a time-wise evolution of the changing numerical values for selected core parameters and other time- dependent variables.
