Description

The theoretical basis for construction of correcting devices for eliminating the inertness of rhodium detectors is examined. The experimental application of an improved rhodium detector in the IRT-2000 Sofia reactor is described. The flow chart of its inclusion in the reactor core and connection to the control circuit is given. The results confirm the concept that the local rhodium detectors with corrected inertness can be used for control of the reactor capacity and quick-acting safety of the reactor core of WWER type reactors. 3 figs., 4 refs
