Description

An experience of Self Powered Flux Detectors application in a French PWR is reported. These detectors with platinum emitter are tested in order to evaluate their capability for in core flux measurements. The first results given in this paper concern the technological behaviour specially the insulation resistance evolution, the change in sensitivity due to fuel burn up, Xenon oscillation, rod bank insertions, and their response during different power transients
