    Abstract: A method for supervision of a neutron flux detector in a nuclear reactor comprising a plurality of neutron flux detectors. During a learning phase, connection weights of a neural network are determined, which network comprises at least one input layer (31) and one output layer (33). The input layer comprises a number of processing elements adapted to receive a number of input signals (S(t) - S(t-49 DELTA t)), and the output layer comprises a number of process elements adapted to deliver a number of state signals (N1, N2, N3, N4). The determination of the connection weights is done by supplying to the network a plurality of sets of input signals with known state signals, by comparing the state signals calculated by the network with the known state signals, and by successively correcting the connection weights to reduce the deviation between the known and the calculated state signals. During a supervision phase the neural network is supplied with input signals corresponding to measured values at different times from the supervised detector, and based on the connection weights determined during the learning phase, the state signals are calculated. In dependence of the calculated state signals and the state signals of a number of selected reference detectors, it is determined whether the detector is defective.

Te thermal shield is ensured by causing the primary flow (B) to pass through a throttle member (13) which is arranged in the inlet pipe (9) and has a limited extent in the longitudinal direction of the channel. The throttle member (13) comprises a chamber (14) which opens out downstream of the throttle member. Part of the primary flow (B) is supplied to the chamber (14) via a gap (16), and at least part of the secondary flow (C) is supplied to the chamber (14) via the secondary-flow gap (11), the primary flow (B) and the secondary flow (C) being mixed in the chamber (14).
