Recent experiences in loose parts monitoring of light water reactors
Description
After a short description of the KWU-Loose-Parts-Monitoring-System (KUS) four examples of analysis of anomalies are described, which demonstrate the advantages of this surveillance: - improvement of operation of the plant -improvement of availability of the plant -avoidance of further damage - reduction of radiation exposure to personnel. A new analysis method for localization of the sound sources is outlined, demonstrated by test impacts and successfully applied for one actual anomaly. (author)
