Self-powered in-core detector arrangement for measuring flux in a nuclear reactor core
Abstract:
An detector-assembly for measuring flux in a nuclear reactor core includes self-powered in-core detector arrangements each for measuring flux at a different one of a plurality of axial locations in the core, and an assembly connector configured to be connected to a power plant connector. The assembly connector includes a plurality flux signal terminals each connected to one of self-powered in-core detector arrangements. At least one of the self-powered in-core detector arrangements comprises a set of at least two self-powered in-core detectors for measuring flux at a same one of the axial locations in the nuclear reactor core. Each of the at least two self-powered in-core detectors includes a sheath, a detector material section inside the sheath, an insulator between the sheath and the detector material, and a flux signal output line. The flux signal output lines of the at least two self-powered in-core detectors are joined together.
