Neutron noise analysis as a diagnostic method of mechanical vibrations in WWER type reactor core components

  • 1. Skoda, Plzen (Czechoslovakia). Zavod Vystavba Jadernych Elektraren

Description

The possibilities and constraints are discussed of the method of the inspection of the mechanical vibrations of control rods, fuel elements and of the relative movement of the pressure vessel body and the core catcher using the analysis of neutron noise. The mathematical formulation of the mentioned three tasks is made and the possibilities of the experimental verification of the method on an SR-OA reactor are indicated. (F.M.)
