Device for measuring the heat released from a portion of a given length of nuclear fuel rod

Description

This invention concerns the measurement of the level of the linear release of heat given off in a unit length of a nuclear reactor fuel rod. This linear release heat level varies with the point under consideration along the fuel rod, since the fission depends in part on the proximity of other radioactive sources. It is calculated as from the data provided by a series of gamma thermometers located in the reactor core

Abstract (French)

La presente invention se rapporte a la mesure du taux de degagement lineaire de chaleur degagee dans une longueur unite d'une aiguille combustible de reacteur nucleaire. Ce taux de degagement lineaire de chaleur varie suivant le point considere le long de l'aiguille combustible, etant donne que la fission est en partie fonction de la proximite d'autres sources radioactives. Il est calcule a partir des donnees fournies par une serie de thermometres gamma disposee dans le coeur du reacteur
